You May Have Thought I Died

Not only were those Jesus' first words upon poking his head out from behind the rock, but they are also mine, as my blog is resurrected from a temporary hiatus brought on by extreme busyness. Not only have all my clients of Easter past decided to revisit, but also the clients of Easter future, rattling chains the whole time. In the midst of the onslaught, my Mom is visiting from Seattle and we are having a great, if hectic, time. She is getting a full frontal view of our life here in Williamsburg, complete with rampaging French Elephants upstairs and the wake-up call from the metal recycling plant next door.

"It sounds like a house just collapsed" Said she, as the first truck-load full of refrigerators fell into the bin full of wheelchairs.

For some reason I like the metal recyclers better than the Francophants. They don't give me the stink-eye.

We borrowed our old car this weekend from my friend Bryan, to whom we sold it and with whom we became friends after selling it. Some might say that is an awfully convenient friendship, but Bryan is a good guy with acidic humor and rabid left leaning tendencies. Nothing is sacred to him, which is why we get along. And to be fair we actually rented to car from him, for much much less than the rental cars available here in the city. You could put a down payment on a house for the price of a weekend rental here.

Yesterday we drove it up the Hudson River Valley under sunny skies and stopped in many quaint (quaint but they know it) towns dotted along the banks. Fill in the rest of the adventures for yourself, here; ( ) since my Mom has just exited the shower and we need to bust hump up to the Queens Chinatown where dim-sum awaits. There is also a Costco run in our immediate future which surely will inspire me to firehole you about why the Redhook Costco is the most hilarious place on earth.
