Posted on January 24, 2013 by

Posted on September 24, 2012 by

From Huntingdon

Posted on September 23, 2012 by

It’s curious to make a habit of staying in a different apartment (#2) in one’s own former apartment (#6) building. The sounds are the same, just slightly different (farther from the train, closer to The Friendly), the ceilings are higher and the … Continue reading →
