Riddle me this!

It has come to my attention that we have at least one local bestselling author among our fairly silent (but I assume totally supportive, loving, and massive) readership. So in the literary spirit, I bring you a famous-author-inspired riddle.

James Joyce once said, "A good puzzle is to walk across Dublin without running into a pub." Meaning, just try to walk any route through Dublin without encountering a pub. The wiseacre response to this would be, "Right, so I'll walk into all the pubs on the way." Which is what I did while living there. (I wrote down the best bits, dare I say shenanigans, from those days and if blogs had existed back then, oh the blogging hilarity that would have ensued!)



My version of Joyce's puzzle is, "You cannot walk from the pet food store to my apartment without sidewalks being blocked off almost the whole way because there is so much construction going on. Where do I live?"

The answer is, "everywhere in Boerum Hill." Another answer could be to walk into all the pubs on the way. But my personal answer now is to try to become a successful writer, so that I can scram-o out of here and visit Dublin soon while Auntie Nell is still around.
