  Nice little free lease add-on!

  This is such an unusual amenity for a city apartment. Googling the park shows that this little privately maintained jewel is planted with native trees and full of birds--not city predators, either, but lovely birds. It's closed at night so the birds can sleep, presumably, and so can you.
  
  Google Earth pictures how astonishingly close you are to your garden and, indeed, practically everything that makes your city wonderful. You have done very well with this.
  
  Every revelation about this move makes me even more appreciative of your fortitude through the years to stay the course until you could finally find and claim this very spot. Now that you have done it, of course the new expenses as well as the treasure hunts to feather it properly can begin. Even so, I hope you take time every day just to enjoy this place. It is charming from the craftsman cabinets fronting what looks to be your butler's pantry of a kitchen to the view outside your window.
  
  You are fortunate in that many of your chosen recreational activities are not necessarily costly ones. Even if that also is by design, the cultivation of art, nature, and friends are choices most surely conducive to the good life for anyone, I would think.
  
  Perhaps you will be able to locate your desk or table where you can look out on that park as you write. That view alone will be priceless therapy and will otherwise add so much pleasure to living there.
  
  When the season changes and you cannot garden, perhaps you will find it interesting to let us know when you see and identify some of those privileged birds who share your park.
  
  Happy new house, Mike. It couldn't happen to a nicer guy. (Is it permitted to ask for updates on the furnishing and nest feathering progress as it occurs?)

  Mike: I said it once before and I'll say it again, that is one sweet view. You really scored.
