Cabin Fever

A few years out from college, Ray and I have both moved out from home. With all the places in the country that call to both of us, it's amazing that we've ended up living in the same neighborhood in Brooklyn! We now reside about five blocks apart in Crown Heights, just down the hill from Prospect Park and more conveniently located and certainly more "urban" than the house we grew up in (a mere 20 minute subway ride away). 

Finding that, despite our proximity, we don't see each other as much as would like, we decided to getaway on what is now the second annual Berkshires cabin trip! 

We arrived late on a freezing cold Friday night
and with the echoes of the workweek still in earshot 
we put our feet up
and began to make our own soundtrack. 
Just three hours earlier we were here, the business and tourism capital of the U.S.
and then we woke up here 
kings and queens
of our new backyard.
We are surrounded by nature
and by friends
with plenty to watch
and to admire.  
But mainly we were here for this
and this
for the sights of new places
and people
and time with old friends,
to be weird
and eerie
and to enjoy the view. 
Here's to a cabin trip that couldn't have come at a better time, or have been shared with better people. Here's to brothers who are privileged to regularly unite!

Legendary dirtbaggery.
