Love in the Afternoon (and Morning and Evening)

I own a co-op apartment. For those of you who aren't familiar with that, it means you don't actually own your apartment (like a condo) but you are a shareholder in the entire building (like a corporation). I'm explaining that, so what is below will make sense.

My co-op is actually two attached buildings that are separated by a courtyard. It's not typical of the area. They are really quiet buildings because of the circumstances of exactly where I am located, and we don't have the typical city street noises. It's a joy to live here for more reasons than I could explain. The buildings date to the early 1900s, so they are solid and naturally sound-proofed. I rarely hear my neighbors or the people above or below me.

The last few months, though, I have heard a couple somewhere in the two buildings going at it. Often. I have no idea who they are or exactly where in the buildings they are. But I can't do justice to how loud the woman is. For those of you who remember the movie Porky's, she's the character played by Kim Cattrall (Lassie) multiplied by 100. This couple would make mating wild boars blush ... and they go at it at all hours of the evening. Whoever the guy is, he has some serious stamina. He's no BYH.

I kind of get a laugh out of it most of the time, although it got a little old a few nights ago at 3 a.m. when they had been going at it for a half hour and it sounded like her vocal cords were going to sever. But this is one of the quirks of living in this city. I've dealt with much worse things.

Anyhow, I am sorry for the long build up, but I wanted to share the e-mail from our managing agent that was just waiting for me at my home e-mail address ... he actually put the title that is the title of thread over it:

Isn't where I live groovy?

 

I couldn't do that, even if it was my style. I have no idea who they are. But there are some pretty good-looking women in my building, so I am kind of curious about who the woman is and whether the noise translates to anything other than noise.
