In the doc’s waiting room, chatting up the staffer because reading is no longer possible now that my pupils have been dilated beyond the sockets, and I find out she moved as a teenager to the US from Croatia; except for a few months elsewhere, has been in New York ever since.
And the great thing about this woman (besides her willingness to chat up a wide-eyed girl), is that stitched into her Croatian-accented English is a New York (Queens?) accent.
Excellent!

I love this city. I put up my own NY story on my site.
I really need to visit the city at some point. I’ve been update, but somehow have never made it to NYC…
