I live on the west coast. I used to live in Virginia. I swim daily in the Pacific Ocean. We move to the West Coast in my dad's old pickup. My mother is a professor of environmental science. My mother is a good teacher. My father is a cop. My father cannot find work in New York. I want to try New York Pizza. The rivers and lakes where I live are too small for swimming.
I swim daily. I love the color blue.  My mother teaches cello lessons. I play the cello. I am from upstate New York. I like living in New York. I like having 4 seasons a year. I love Broadway in New York. Wicked is my favorite Broadway show. The best New York Pizza is Di Fara or John's in Bleecker Street. I think it is illegal to swim in the Hudson river.  swim at beaches near New York because the Hudson is so polluted.
Why is Wicked your favorite Broadway show?  I love the original cast recording, and I think it's such a brilliant take on a classic story. I've seen it 4 times on Broadway. Wow 4 times, you must love it. Im not a huge musical fan but id love to see 'The Book of Mormon' as im a big South Park fan.  It's great! I'm sure it's touring the west coast this year. Or maybe if your dad ever finds a job here, you guys can move here and see it on Broadway. Id love to live in New York, in the city, even if just for a year or two until i get tired of the winters. Its so expensive though, even compared to here on the west coast.  Depends on where you are on the west coast. New York City is the best place to live in the world...if you're rich. If not, it's a total grind. The same can be said of LA and San Francisco as well. Here in Monterey its not as expensive as La or San Francisco, also its a lot cleaner. Does it take long to get from upstate in to the city?  About an hour and a half on a good day. What university is your mom working at these days? My mother is working at The University of Virginia, she loves it there.  UVA, nice. I've spent a lot of time in Charlottesville. Have you ever been to Christian's Pizza on the downtown mall? It's as good as any pizza in New York. If you've been there, no need to try the real thing. Iv never been, but sounds good. My mother works for the University of Virginia, but the Environmental Science department is based in Monterey Bay, CA. Her job is what bought us over to this side of the country.  Interesting. I didn't know they had satellite operations so far away. Can you swim there in the winter? I have no concept of the water on that coast.
