Sometimes I actually forget that the New York Times did a video of my apartment, part of a profile they did on me for their “Habitat” series in the Real Estate section. My narration of this video would be different these days; four years ago, you can still hear the culture shock in my voice at the move from Minnesota to Manhattan. I treasure that gap, though, and the person who saw New York so clearly as a newcomer. I looked at the video tonight and it makes me look at my own views with new appreciation -you should look at them too. Click on the link above and you’ll see what I’m talking about.
