Hey everyone...long time no blog. Anyways, things are going pretty well. We just got back from our honeymoon on the outter banks where the tempurature was 70 degrees every day. Now we're back in NY where the temperature is lucky to be above 20. Actually, I'm back and Hardin just left on a gig with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra. He has to play a party for the innoguration (sp?).....hey....even though it's supporting the W, atleast he's making money, right?
Anyways, I'm pretty excited because I have two job interviews next week. The first one is for teaching a mommy and me music class here on Long Island--which sounds like a blast, and the second one is for teaching instrumental music in Manhattan---what great location! I'm kind of nervous about them because I've never been on a real professional interview! Wish me luck!
As promised I said I would blog about life as a New Yorker. Everyone I've met so far here seems to live and die NY. They look at me like I'm a foreigner. It's very bizzare. When I say I'm from Ohio they look at me and ask what it's like to live on a farm. Actually where I'm from in Ohio looks a lot like this suburb I am living on in Long Island. People can't believe it. It cracks me up that this is supposed to be a great cultural metropolitian area and it can't even look past it's own nose. Don't get me wrong, I am really enjoying myself, but this place needs to get over itself!
I guess I'm just not used to it yet. I'm sure everything will work out. I just need to get comfortable in my surroundings.
