The New Apartment

There are several things about the apartment that need to be repaired. The previous tenant, for example, painted some of the molding bright red. I don't hate it, and perhaps white windowsills will look boring, but it's not the statement I want to make. Also, the blinds will be replaced. Here's a picture with obvious unpacking still ahead.

This apartment has wide windowsills, too. I now have a nice shower curtain up, but these are early photos.
There's a fire escape outside, which creates a nice ledge for pigeons. Billy has made friends.
Mike the Bike, I'm sorry to say, may stay in the kitchen for awhile. It's just a 20-minute walk to work, and he's so heavy to carry up three flights of twisty stairs. Here's my building. It's brick, but not red brick.

My apartment is a couple blocks from Fenway Park. I now carry the Red Sox schedule in my wallet. When there's a game on, everything is busier. And I can hear the the roar of the crowd. The other night, I heard, "Sweet Caroline - BAMP BA NA!" I heard the Star Spangled Banner tonight.
