Spent all yesterday battling some gremlin that got lodged in my stomach somehow and refused to share any space with whatever food I attempted to keep down. Anyways, fortunately it turned out to be more of a 24-hour deal, and I’m enjoying being able to walk and eat again. Unfortunately, this meant I didn’t get much writing done yesterday, but I’ll see if I can make up for it today.
I realized I hadn’t made any sort of announcement regarding this on the blog yet but—we’re moving! The wife and I are packing up at the end of next week and heading back out to Colorado with the pets to try a switch of scenery. This has actually been in the plan for the past month, and had been an issue we talked about for a few months before that. NYC has been good for this time, and certainly has kicked up the careers nicely, but right now we’re looking forward to a change of pace, a little healthier environment and lower cost of living. The publishing industry isn’t as prevalent out in CO as it might be in NY, but there are a couple of options open to me right now, with some magazines that want me to get in touch with them once I’m in the area, plus another potential open door that I’ll talk about more if it actually develops into anything.
So this next week will be mostly dedicated to packing, last-minute travel arrangements and hanging out with our friends here a few last times. The blog might become sporadic depending on how the actual transition goes, but hopefully I’ll be in touch with everyone on the other side.
I see that smile.
You’re moving? Well, I don’t blame you guys, NYC has its appeal but the cost of living there isn’t one of them.
Good luck with the move!
Thanks! Yes, getting away from the high prices will be nice, and surprisingly, we’re looking forward to not having to rely on public transportation as much. It has its pluses, but those times you’re standing in the station for 30+ minutes make you appreciate having a car in the driveway.
