Welcome to the ever improving village of Catskill New York! We have relocated on the west side of the Hudson River, just across from the town of Hudson, about 2.5 hours north of New York City. We have purchased an old Main Street townhouse built in the 1840’s.
Our new house needs lots of paint and repairs, but the radiators are warm, the rooms are filled with light, and there is space to work. On the street level are two small storefronts. One is rented to Purrfect Tails of Catskill a specialty pet food and accessories store, and the other is unoccupied. Maybe the future location of a Rodney Shop.
After living most of our adult lives in downtown NYC, the shift to small town life is a challenge. You can hear my philosophical take on our move in a Dharma Talk I gave March 10th 2016. There is a lot of change going on in Catskill. The reasonable rents and real estate prices are bringing in a talented Brooklyn overflow and adventurous entrepreneurs. Of course the town has seen hard times and has some rough edges, but that is changing now.
Here are a few photos. I hope to post more as we begin to restore and customize our amazing old building.

You did it! … Congratulations!
Lisa and I are trying to get used to being “empty-nesters!” Rose has moved to Stamford CT and Heath is off at college in Nashville TN. We’ve put our 100+ year old Victorian house up for sale and are puzzling out our next move. After you get settled in we’d love to drop by sometime to say “hi!” Take care! Jim

We are practically neighbors! I looked at both Hudson & Catskill before finally settling in Saratoga Springs in 2011 (because I had friends there, among other things) – there is a lot of good property in Catskill. I’m sure you’ll be very happy! And you’re not far from Woodstock, which is also a nice ville. Best of luck, Rodney, hope to see you soon.

Hey Rodney, I feel like upstate is the next place to be. Life is so wondrously full of change and surprises. Best of luck, your new book (saw it this morning in Lions Roar) rocks, the building a lovely palette. Cher’s!
