One thing that has really struck me since moving to the big city is the loss of privacy. For example, whenever I walk my dog, several passersby catch a glimpse of him pissing on a tree or taking a shit. He doesn’t really seem to mind, though. He actually seems kind of proud when people see him.

For me, it’s a bit different. When I get out of the shower, there’s no time to dilly dally. Unless I want to put on a show, I’ve got to put some boxers on before I walk from the bathroom to the closet. That’s because one side our my apartment faces another apartment building. And we have huge windows.

But if they can see me, then that means I can see them too. Reminds me of the Hitchcock flick, Rear Window. Maybe I should get some binoculars. Would that be demented?

For the record, aside from that one angle, the view here is pretty amazing.
