lagilman: coffee or die (citron presse)
[personal profile] lagilman
The last day of November. The last day of my official tenancy at this address (at least until 2016). I feel like I should have one more "last" to put there, but I don't leave the city itself until Wednesday....

Three more sleeps until we go.

I've been - slowly, cautiously - saying goodbye to NYC this week. Every sidewalk and neon sign, every sweep of the rivers along the shores, every bridge and intersection, steel, brick, and concrete.

I admit: I love this city more than the sum of individual people in it, with the full knowledge that people are part of what makes this city. Place of my heart.  Leaving it, at least for a while, is the right thing to do - and I maintain my residence here, so the ties are not completely cut - but there's already an aching space in my soul....


The plan is to be liveblogging the next year at Book View Cafe. starting on Wednesday, continuing once a month.  I hope you'll follow along on the adventure....

It feels weird to know you're moving out to the West Coast for a while. I hope things go well for you, Laura Anne.
