It’s as official as it gets in our world. A couple weeks back I mentioned we were working on relocating to Brooklyn but there were still a lot of details to be worked out. While there are still plenty of logistics, little things…like a place to live, the pieces are falling into place rather nicely. Rina’s heading out to NYC to size up the housing situation, then we’ll nail down transportation. A couple things that have been particularly surprising…
