Apologies, Dear Readers...

I've been incommunicado.

Turns out there's not much to write about when you spend all your time job hunting.

For those of you who don't have much regular contact with me, here's the latest:

I'm finally gainfully employed. I'm teaching at 2 different private language schools. The first is in Flushing in the morning. It takes me 1 1/2 hours on the subway to get there, but the class is nice. And it pays ok. In the evening (and Saturday morning) I'm teaching on the upper west side. That job's only 1 hour away. 40 hours a week, but 5 hours a day commuting between the two jobs. That will change soon. Once I can afford my own place, I'll probably dish out the cash to get an apartment closer to the night job so that I only have to commute in the mornings.

In addition, I'm doing a little writing work for a friend (thanks Deb) and I'm just starting up some writing for a series of community newspapers under the moniker The Brooklyn Star and/or the Queens Ledger. I'll post links when I have some stuff printed.

So, them's the breaks. New York is great. Within a few weeks I'll actually have enough money to enjoy it. I spend a lot of time on the subway.

Yeah. But at least now I'll have a little time to write.
