Sorry! I should have written sooner! I had just returned from NYC when it
happened. In fact, I had attended a memorial service for an old friend at
the Marriot ballroom in the WTC while there. Geez.
But I am perfectly fine.
And, um, moving to New York at the end of October. (I know, I know. Get the
net.)
It is hard to explain, but having the whole disaster happen just intensified
my sense that NYC is my real home and where I belong, so it is time I got
back there. (Besides, my mentor's son just had a kid, for whom I am going to
be proud godmother, and that is a thing easier done up-close than at a
distance.)
Chances are good I'll be back in the TC during Oct. or Nov. getting the last
of my stuff from Prairie House and putting in all my change of address forms
and so on. (And renewing my passport! Bush with a blank check and no brakes
on his addled brain is a scarey thought!) So I'm hoping we can get together
and spend some quality time together while I'm there. ;->
Take care!
