Moving at the speed of life...
I moved to Boston on July 3, 2008. Those of you who read Jaffe regularly will recognize that date as (roughly) the day I disappeared. Sure, I've posted a couple of things since then, but nothing about life in Boston since the move.A couple of weeks ago I got an email from Matt, a friend from grad school (who, incidentally, has the same birthday as me). The email was about raising money for the genetic disorder that is both Matt's clinical and research interest. He's running the Chicago Marathon along with some other people who have been touched by the disorder, called Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS). I'll add a link in the support sidebar, for those of you interested in reading more about this syndrome and supporting Matt in his first marathon.
Anyway, I had no idea that Matt was a Jaffe reader, but his last line in the email was this:
P.S. If you get the chance drop me a note to with a quick update--your last blog update was in July....
The reason I started the blog was to give my friends back in London a chance to experience settling down in New York through my eyes. There are a lot of people that I knew I wasn't going to speak with weekly or even monthly, and I thought the blog would be the perfect way to stay in touch.
After two and a half years, I was back to settling down again, and I guess I let the blog get away from me. It's not that I haven't thought of posting, it's just that there has been so much going on that I haven't felt like a quick post here and there really captured how quickly things are moving here.
Quick posts are clearly better than no posts... thanks Matt.

Moving to a new city, starting a new job, settling into a new flat..these are things that take a lot of time and effort! But even a line helps to stay in touch..I AGREE. I wish Matt all the best for his research.
