Sign Sealed Delivered

October 15, 2008 By pia

This is my 1,000 post. I used to blog often.

Less than one day away and wow. Spirit Air was on time. It was in the high 80’s. I found myself at the beach, and I walked, walked walked. Humid salty air. Low tides. The economy was the fifth thing on local news.

There is more to life than real estate, the economy and politics. I’m watching Letterman and McCain just asked the question I have been wondering. What is Dave going to do after the election? Great Moments in Presidential Speeches. Political jokes. Oh I’m hopelessly in llove with Letterman. Always have been. Always will be. Not the stalking type of love. The talking type.

I will be back in New York in nineteen days for three fun filled days. We plan on (kinehorah) celebrating all night and through Wednesday. Aside from that I’m on political overload. Economic overload. Real Estate overload–though Monday I have to begin looking for a house or townhouse and North Myrtle is getting hot–my luck but I’m moving here for the same reason most people are. It’s a Southern beach town, not insane and very beautiful

Back when the USA was a different country, this past summer, my apartment went into contract. Today I closed

Idiot–my very affectionate name for me couldn’t get “Sign sealed, delivered out of my head, when I went into contract For a few moments I thought I had written a brilliant song. Though yes I did wonder why I heard Stevie Wonder’s voice singing.

I deposited the check at my stockbroker’s office. He used to look so filled with life. Now….

Tonight I’m going to my very favorite restaurant, Cafe Luxembourg. Usually we go late. Tonight….when I made the reservations the woman asked if we were going to the theater. “No, the debate.” She promised we would be finished in time for it.

Tomorrow I leave. When I thought of New York songs I decided that the man my mother thought I should marry, Billy Joel was the perfect person and this song performed at the (now) old Yankee stadium was perfect.

    That was a very funny short post. Perfect way to celebrate your 1000th, 900 of which were written around the time I first got here.

    For a few moments I thought I had written a brilliant song. Though yes I did wonder why I heard Stevie Wonder’s voice singing.

    That had me chuckling.

    Thanks for the songs. Billy Joel is one of the people I’ve never seen in concert that I want to see before I die. If you would have just married him, MAYBE you could have gotten me tickets.

About Me

I live in the South, not South Florida, a few blocks from the ocean, and two blocks from the main street. It's called Main Street. Amazes me too.

I'm from New York. I mostly lived in the Mid-Upper East Side, and the heart of the Upper West Side. It amazes me when people talk about how scared they were of Times Square in the 1970's and 1980's.

As my mother said: "know the streets, look out and you'll be fine."

What was scary was the invasion of the crack dens into "good buildings in good 'hoods." And the greedy landlords who did everything they could to get good tenants out of buildings.

I'm a Long Island girl, and proud of it now.
Then I hated everything about the suburbs. Yet somehow I lived in a few great Long Island Sound towns after high school.
