I'm Gershwin-Bound

I almost forgot to mention it: yesterday I found that my application was accepted at the Gershwin. I'll move over there in the third week of January. I'm anxious to get there, but as long as I can live free at the pricey Longacre, I may as well take advantage of corporate housing.

So I'll be on 9th floor, facing 50th Street (north), just a block off Broadway. The apartment is tremendous--775 square feet. And only $2,750 a month. And I mean it when I say "only."

On the other hand, that is nearly three times what my mortgage was when I had a lovely 1,455sf townhome in downtown Bellevue, WA. And it is over $1,000 more than the mortgage on my gorgeous 2,000sf lake-view home near Redmond, WA.

My, my. Things have changed!
