Decompression Chamber

When I used to go scuba diving, it was important to return slowly to the surface and stop at 15 feet (below the surface) for 3 minutes. This allowed your body to re-adjust so you didn't die from air bubbles in your body or too much nitrogen in your tissue. I feel a similar safeguard is necessary for anyone leaving New York (unless it somehow involves a day in Jersey).

I got home last night at 11pm and my apartment was so large, quiet, dark and uncrowded. Just like that, all of the stimulation was gone. As much as I had complained about the hectic pace of NYC, there is a part of me that really misses it.

NY is much more tolerable if you have a nice little apt. to call your own. Particularly if it's in little Italy. Or near the river. Of course, finding said "nice little apt." can kill you. Or break your bank. Or both.
