Why Leave New York City?
E.B. White once said
I guess Cindy and I are not True New Yorkers.
Reasons why:
We found our trash ripped open this morning in a huge pool of urine
Subway platforms on 100 degree days
Subway wheels out of true, making the entire station sound like the screeches of a wild banshee
Teenagers putting out cigarettes in our flower pots
Ripping plant out of our flower pots and throwing then on the ground
Throwing whoie flower pot across street, denting car that got in the way.
Parents and children who throw their wrappers on the sidewalk
People who stop and talk on their cellphone on the subway stairs
Parents who scream at their kids and smack them in the head
The crazy guy on the subway screaming at the top of his lungs, making aggressive lunges at everyone
Angry Man, who leave on our street and snarls at everyone
Angry Man 2, who lives on our street and snarls at everyone and has shoulder butted Keith on several occasions
The church behind us who turns their amplification system to high and screams incoherently (this is not an exaggeration) multiple days a week until late at night
Every true New Yorker believes with all his heart that when a New Yorker is tired of New York, he is tired of life.

The extremely large pile of coupon fliers in plastic bags left on our stoop
People planting plastic flowers on their dirt patch in the sidewalk
People getting mad at us for not helping them plant flowers, fake or otherwise, in their dirt patches (despite the fact that we had plants all over our stoop and courtyard), yet doing nothing about the garbage strewn in it
Chicken bones and glass on the sidewalk
The guy who yelled at Keith after the guy's unleashed pitbull took off after Keith down the street and bit his leg and tore his pants
We have now been in Colorado for 6 months and it is awesome here! We ride our bikes everywhere, even in the Winter. We hike in the mountains. We have a gorgeous, quiet house on a street without screaming people. In fact our only complaint is that we could get larger, cheaper bunches of greens at Fairway in NYC. It will also be interesting to see what a summer is like here, but overall this was the right move.
