In a co-op, you don’t own land, you own shares in a corporation that owns the land under a big building. So even though you “own” an apartment, you really own a piece of paper with a number of shares printed on it.
So this, which arrived last week, of course choked me up.
Now I just need to mow my land.
“Why, land is the only thing in the world worth workin’ for, worth fightin’ for, worth dyin’ for, because it’s the only thing that lasts. “
Ha! I feel so Irish.
