Mountain View!

Just an update on what I'm up to - I'm on my way home from a business trip to Mountain View, CA. I spent a week living in a corporate apartment, driving a rental car - and enjoying every moment of it! I really miss having a car; I think that's the single thing that I hate most about the New York lifestyle. The small, expensive apartments, I can get used to; the lack of trees can be fixed by moving closer to central park or to Brooklyn. But it's hard to justify having a car in New York when you can't actually use it to commute (too much traffic) and the insurance and parking costs are enormous.
On the other hand, while I really love driving around San Francisco and exploring the city, I realized there are some serious practical issues with living there. The commute from San Francisco to Mountain View is upwards of an hour, and living in Mountain View is probably not that much fun. We'll see what happens to my plans of one day moving there.
