Leaving for a week but so happy to be calling my tower on the upper upper west side home for a second straight year starting December 30th.
Wishing a merry merry to my neighbors, who include - in case I haven't mentioned them before...
- a rowdy bunch of men the BFF has dubbed members of the Tortilla Party that takes place in the Atrium between my building and the one abutting it on W 108th at odd hours of the night during late September and early October.
- an old woman (an abuela, if you will) who stands to the side of my front stoop selling "Pantalletos a pollo" at the end of the school day which it's taken me a year to decipher she then translates in English for me whenever I come back in from dropping off mail or picking up laundry as "meat patties, chicken" and I vow to try one afternoon before leaving this hood
- quite possibly THE cutest beagle puppy I've ever encountered
- and my favorites, the three men I've been introduced to as the Super of my building who all seem to answer to the name Mickey, which I affectionately refer to them as in calling and texting them incessantly whenever we need a light bulb changed or the doorknob tightened. Think charmers like the ones in this video my Improv made:
Home sweet home.
