Oh How the Time Flies ...

I know, I know ... you were probably all worried sick about me when you didn't hear from me for four months. And then that worry probably turned to anger ... or at least that is the sense I am getting from a few dedicated readers. I am sorry that Lacquered Life took a loooong hiatus over the summer ... there was the required internship in New York, and then September came and it took me a while to settle back in here in Philadelphia. Oh how I miss New York--and oh how I miss all of you who read this blog of mine and who indulge me by commenting once and a while. So I am back. I guarantee you there will be tardiness throughout this year as I attempt to plough through my thesis ... but I need this blog ... I need all of you.   So for today I have some pictures of my summer job ... eye candy for preservationists, antiquarians, or simply lovers of old buildings. 

My summer at New York City Hall ... 

So you see? I wasn't abandoning you for no good reason! Over the next few days, I will post more photos (and anecdotes) of my summer doing a survey of NY City Hall, and then get back to the business of leading a Lacquered Life! Thanks to all my Lacquered Lifers who are sticking by me, I know how frustrating it is when your favorite bloggers desert you.
