Why Houston is Better Than NY...

Work has been pretty busy so I haven't posted for a bit. I'd thought about sharing some of the things I enjoy about living in Houston Texas and perhaps why it's better than NY (at least for me).

1) Lower cost of living: Housing is certainly more affordable and so is gasoline

2) Community: Where everybody knows your name: People invite you for shabbos meals etc.

3) Speeding and parking ticket ratio: the chances of getting either are greatly decreased thanks to
no quotas for either in the state

4) No state income tax

5) Politeness factor: Let's face it southerners tend to be more polite

6) No honking: few if anyone will honk at you if you don't speed away as soon as the light turns green.

These are just a few but there will be more to come...

NY Governor: In Hospital On His Birthday

Newly appointed NY Governor, David Patterson, checked himself into a hospital today. Migrane headaches were the cause of this recent hospital visit . The Governor is said to be doing well and resting comfortably and will be undergoing further testing as a precaution. Mr. Patterson who turns 54 today will be missing his commencement address that was scheduled at 3PM today at Columbia University. He has chosen Andrew Cuomo to speak in his absence. Mr. Cuomo had made an unsuccessful run for Governor of NY in 2006.
