OK. I’ll admit that I felt a little sick when I got this announcement in my email box.
It’s probably because the last thing I was able to purchase was a pair of jeans. Gap jeans. Gap jeans on sale. Gap jeans on sale at a thrift store.

But for all you folks ready to buy your first home, here are the deets:
“The Westchester County Association’s Young Professional Advisory Committee (YPAC) will continue its Home Buyers Series on Tuesday, September 9 when a panel of leading realtors and attorneys participate in Part II: The ABC’s of Real Estate Agencies. The panel discussion, followed by a networking cocktail reception, will take place from 6 to 8 PM, at 1133 Westchester Avenue, White Plains, in the lobby level conference room.”
See: www.westchester.org or contact Julia Salem (she’s cool, I promise) at (914) 948-6740.
As for me, I’m looking forward to unpacking my winter clothes, where I usually find a few crumpled up $5 bills in my sweater pockets.
