So Close, Yet So Far Away

I got home too late to do a full blog entry, so this is all you get today.

After living three months in a posh place on the Upper East Side -- the kind of place where little old ladies have puffy white hair and even puffier little white dogs -- I lived here for two months before heading off to New Haven for our three-week federal trial.

My firm transferred me, so I would be closer to our Midtown office as trial prep got more intense. I worked around the clock and would often stumble home at 3 a.m. or even later. Sometimes my doorman said, "Good morning" to me twice in the span of just a few hours.

All the while, across the street was one of the best seafood restaurants in the world. I saw it every single day. In the morning when I went to work. In the wee hours of the morning when I came home from work.

And I never once ate there.

But we finally remedied this...five years later.

Next post. Promise.

  3. New Haven! My old stomping ground. And you didn't even get held up at gunpoint while you were there!
