will laugh when Mets & Yanks' positions are reversed in 20 years
there's a greater chance of the Jets and the Giants (or the Nets and the Knicks) reversing position than the Mets and the Yankees. and no, that isn't just me being a sarcastic Phils Phan Phucker.

in a way, that's KIND of what i was getting at (as far as how the actual teams perform that is). still, NYC is largely a Giants/Knicks town; Jets are an afterthought, and the Nets weren't even an afterthought during the Jason Kidd/Kenyon Martin days.

Struggling to find a suitably impressive description of the cutting edge qualities of the conference room in my opinion; might as well have said the conference room comes equipped with high speed internet

idk if this has been posted yet but: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/19/fashion/how-divorce-lost-its-cachet.html with gems like
In another unexpected twist, some divorced women say they detect an unspoken envy. Other wives and mothers, they explained, were “battling it out” while dealing with the unceasing tasks of wifedom, motherhood and work.“What I get from a number of married women in my community is jealousy of my new lifestyle,” Dr. Monet said. “Dating, going to yoga five times a week, having time for myself. Raising young kids with a spouse doesn’t afford you much time.”Ms. Morrison also sees a subtle, unexpected reaction. “Among my college friends and my closest friends, I’m still the only one who’s divorced,” she said. “In a funny way, I think I may have turned into the groovy one.”

"Raising young kids with a spouse doesn’t afford you much time.”
Being a single parent, though, is all dating and yoga and alone time.

also the nanny can do yr coop shift is a lesson i learned from a previous article
if you're living in bumfuck kansas and 100k buys you a decent house then quiddit awaybut up here if you wanna put some cheese on that foiegras burger you better come incorrect

100k isn't nanny territory in most urban centers, i'd imagine, since if you're using one year-round they're basically an employee making something better than minimum wage. an ex of sorts worked as a nanny in chi and i think she had a very comfortable salary (for a 20something), and was working like 35hrs a week at least.

according to an article quite recently linked itt a person in the top 1% of the population earned $3,061,546 last year so yeah
idk i thought the divorce article had a legit premise ruined by the stlye section template. i mean:
- the premise appears to be broadly true, rather than something that three ppl the author knows have done- is sociologically interesting- potentially 'important' effects on social policy/attiutdes towards divorce in the culture &c
the fact that the article is mostly terrible ppl talking abt yoga is sorta lol, but like the style section is not interested enough in the lives of actual poor ppl to look @ why the attitudes & resulting divorce rates differ by income, or really to do any sort of deep thinking at all

xp i couldn't make it past the first page but two excellent pull quotes from there alone:
“This is completely unfair. It’s all about equity, and there are so many levels of inequity here.”
The post had the deliciousness of a Candace Bushnell novel, or maybe, for connoisseurs of locavore fiction, an Amy Sohn novel.

I guess maybe I don't "get" the Park Slope Food Co-op but what's the idea here? Why not just pay for delivery from Whole Foods if you're not going to actually take part in the ethos that is supposed to define a co-op? I mean if you're paying someone to do it anyway it's probably not less cost-effective (although I guess the implication is that nannies are on salary anyway and aren't getting extra comp to do this task).
