NYC or bust

I will not bore you by repeating the years that have led to this move to The Big Apple.  Most of you know the story (or at least part of it) of the last 8 years.  Suffice it to say, it is time for this!  Thank you for each contributing to my journey.  I would not have made it without your voices of encouragement, insightful questions, and honest involvement.  Many returns to you each.

Here I sit, on the plane flying over Montana at 31,000 + feet playing online and listening to Ray LaMontagne ("New York City's Killing Me" because I need irony).  I've celebrated and said farewell for weeks now but was hardly prepared to actually leave.  The gravity of it hit me yesterday and I've been on the edge of crying ever since.  You have filled my life with the best things in Seattle and it hurts to leave.

Looking forward: this week is apartment hunting and networking into The City.  I have my first viewing of an apt in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Williamsburg tomorrow for a two week sublet.  The goal is to do a short term sublet through the end of the month and land a perm place beginning in September.   I am staying with my kind and generous friend Natalie (and her bf Matt and their roommate) for a few days but would like to return their couch to them asap.

I'm going to try and sleep.  Feel free to email me with questions, comments or snide remarks.

From the sky,
Cory-James
