Currently I'm reading a very engrossing book, The Bucolic Plague by Josh Purcell. It's a story about two Manhattan execs who quit the rat race to farm in upstate New York. Next up is The Wilder Life.

Sounds familiar. Is he the same guy as Josh Purcell-Kilmer, from The Fabulous Beekman Boys on Planet Green (TV)? Gay couple gave up Manhattan to move to a farm?

Shades of Green Acres. ...

I'm sure he must be the one.   They're fun to watch as they adapt to their goats and farm chores.  But you can't take Manhattan out of them.  They've merchandised about every aspect of their move:  TV series, books, special events, goat cheese and soap business, you name it.  :)

I've never seen the show, just read about it somewhere. I'm not even sure if I get Planet Green on my cable service.

New York is where I'd rather stay.
I get allergic smelling hay.
I just adore a penthouse view.
Darling, I love you, but give me Park Avenue.

I haven't seen them. Maybe Josh is more Zsa Zsa than Eva.  ;D

I always thought Eva was the prettier one. Zsa Zsa always looked ... bloated ... to me.
