genesis
August 5, 2007I am from New York. I love to jog along the Hudson. I love wine. I love cafes. I decided to take a temporary job opportunity that comes only once in a lifetime.

I’m starting this blog because I realized that I am otherwise too utterly and completely absorbed in my job, which takes up almost all of my time, and in the oddities of living in this country, which takes up almost all of my energy. So this blog will be my periodic escape from here, without the need for an international flight. Which inevitably means that this blog is destined to be about nothing related to work.
