Things I miss about Brooklyn...

Top ten things I miss about Brooklyn:

10) sidewalks!
9) a really good decent bagel I don't mind waiting in line for.
8) walking almost everywhere I need to go
7) Rockaway beach in the winter time
6) sarcasm understood by all; it's a sixth sense or other additional language in Brooklyn
5) efficiency on getting around on the subway
4) real snow, less humidity
3) awesome restaurants, culture
2) The aquarium for wildlfie conservation, the Brooklyn botanic garden
1) feeling like I am home

It took me 45 seconds to make this list. Maybe I should move?

Blog Envy

I admittedly have blog envy. I read a few blogs a day from Brooklyn and Paris, France (I can explain that one in another post) and they all write so well, so clever, so witty. I guess they can do this because they are writers. Me, I am just a lowly biologist...not known for eloquent prose in our profession.

Stories are weaved so well, little anecdotes are told as if you are standing right there listening to them tell it. A few I read I can't wait for the next post. What the heck is wrong with me?

Boredom, I think. If I had more of a life and were actually busy at work and not procrastinating, I would never think to blog. Yet here I sit, trying to be as clever and as interesting when all I can come up with to write about are my short-comings in blog-writing.

Just wait until I start writing about fish reproduction and the chemicals in the environment that cause male fish to become female!
