My wife and I have rented an apartment in Manhattan for 13 months!
I arrived in the city today (Nov 14, 2010) to begin our adventure. As I write this I'm looking out our bedroom window down the Hudson River. I must admit, this city has some amazing views from on high... as beautiful in their own way as an unimpeded view of the Smokey Mountains.
Why have we moved to New York from our home in sunny South Carolina when so many people are migrating in the other direction?
1) My wife has a new business that she is trying to expand into the NYC market.
2) My wife has wanted to live in NYC since she was a child.
3) My wife spent four years planning this move and eliminated every possible obstacle that I might offer
As you can see, each if the reasons above begins with "my wife."
Seriously, I am looking forward to spending a year in the greatest city on the planet... within striking distance of some of the greatest courses on the planet!
Hey... with a Con Edison receipt I might even be able to play Bethpage Black without having to sleep in a car!!!
