Quick Update - Alive, Kicking, and Moving

filed under Personal · 1 comment in the original

It’s been more than a week since I last posted, so it seems that an update is (at least) in order.

First, thanks to all my friends out there that reached out as I worked through a difficult time.  The road is not settled and I don’t expect it to really go away for some time to come, but I’m making the best of all situations.

As for making the best, I made a very big decision last Monday.  After 31 solid years in New York, I’m finally saying goodbye to my home.  I realized when I got off the plane on Monday how happy I suddenly felt - like a weight was lifted and I had arrived at home again.  Perhaps it’s the retreat from a messy situation in New York, perhaps it’s a new journey towards something I’ve always sought - or maybe it’s a lot of both - we’ll see.

At the end of the month, I’m heading to Podcast Expo to join arms with my fellow podcasters for a few days.  From there, I’ll return to New York to see my family, play with the niece and nephew (damn, I’ll miss them the most), and pack my gear.  Stowe, Anthony, and I will be looking for a new apartment up in Portrero Hills (sp?) early next month and if all goes well we’re moving in mid-October or November 1.  Expect a very interesting housewarming!

There’s some other significant announcements, but we’re still wrapping some things before we can talk about it.
