about living in East Coast Big City.
1. Babies in strollers bundled up in fleece, hats, scarves, and blankets (as opposed to Red State Capital City Suburb babies who are generally seen in their carseats, especially at this time of year).
2. Running out to the CORNER STORE to buy BLACK BEANS (point being that there is a corner store--in fact, there are three--and it carries black beans).
3. Everyone else is as into ice skating as we are, meaning that there's at least one rink in every town, not to mention the outdoor rinks in the parks, and the Sunday afternoon skate at the Town rink is the place to be, and when families get together on weekends they go ice skating, and parents drop off their kids at the rink for skating play dates (in family skating news, M has been skating every Friday with her afterschool and now glides effortlessly across the ice, while E has mastered that early skater run-walk thing, and on Saturday we played tag and hide and seek, instead of circling slowly and fallingly around the ice, as we were just six weeks ago).
4. Lots of places to go out for breakfast.

Stop it! You're killing me! I can't take this red state driving everywhere. I should move to L.A., at least the frickin' sun comes out there.
