In New York

While I'm here, I can't help but compare to how I do things in New York. My mom lives very close to her church--in New York terms I'd say it's about four blocks (the short blocks, not avenue blocks). That's the normal distance I walk every day just to get to the subway. Because it's cold outside, we drive to church. It takes, max, a minute and a half to get there. It just makes me laugh; rain, shine, snow, sleet or wind I'm off to church, and everywhere in the city, by first walking to the subway and then walking from the subway. A minute and a half car ride or a 30 minute subway ride. Oh, the city.....
