slaughterhouse90210: “Being a nerd, which is to say going too far and caring too much about a subject, is the best way to make friends I know. For me, the spark that turns an acquaintance into a friend has usually been kindled by some shared enthusiasm like detective novels or Ulysses S. Grant.” — Sarah Vowell, The Partly Cloudy Patriot

“ People like to say that City Island is a slice of New England only 15 minutes from the Cross Bronx Expressway, but in fact its atmosphere is even more peculiar. Less Cape Cod, perhaps, than a tiny, Stephen King-like town on the lonesome Maine coast.

Dad: How long have you been in New York now? Me: New York City, 10 years in August. Manhattan, 5 years in August. Dad: You’re really a glutton for punishment.
