New York State of Mind

Re “We {heart} New York Too,” editorial, Nov. 24: Your jealousy of New York is music to this expatriate New Yorker’s ears and heart. The No. 1 reason for moving to California and, if I am correct, what seems to be the only reason for moving to California, is the weather.

Of course, there is a continental difference in the warmth provided by an external Santa Ana wind (i.e., California) and the internal warmth generated by the passions, fervor, intensity, culture, intellect and candor of an extended family and community (i.e., New York).

Can we all say, in like, you know, unison: “Let’s do lunch sometime”?
