In which I find myself unemployed and blogging

If someone had told me 15 years ago that I would find myself living in Brooklyn taking care of my fifteen month old son full time, I think I would have scoffed. But here I am: a newly minted MD who, instead of going straight into residency, found myself stepping off the fast track to spend time with my family.

While medicine and motherhood are my vocations, I also have a passion for urban life. In the past 15 years I've lived for a year or more in Chicago, L.A., Washington DC, Palo Alto (not really a city I know, but humor me) and New York. As you can probably tell from the title of my blog, my feelings about New York are mixed. It is a difficult place to live--overpriced, cramped, and often annoying. But it also has pockets of charm, especially in Brooklyn which I have come to love.

So I decided to begin a chronicle of my life in New York, warts and all.
