Albany

Today I'm in Albany, NY - the capital city of this fine state. After several weeks feeling a bit confined by my apartment, the thought of seeing a new city seemed exciting. So far it's been ok, other than some interpersonal drama. I think this experience - which I can't write too much about now - will simply add to my memoirs later in life.

The choice of a capital is puzzling. In the same way that California's biggest brightest cities were shunned for Sacramento. Albany is a sleepy little town, with some important business to do.

I have spent this morning at a local Starbucks. I scored a soft armchair, an electrical outlet, and pirated internet connection. I took a nap this morning, and am watching CNN. On a rainy day, stranded in a strange town, it doesn't get much better.

I'm back in NYC tonight.
