Penultimate Entry

[all2swift]

So I have a date tonight to try and pack a few things. You know, like my life. Our lives. We're moving out of New Haven. If you even know where that is. I've spent ten years here, my wife nine, and our daughter all her life of nearly three years. A decade is a long time, regardless of one's age. I've known this town all my adult life, really

Oh wow. I hate that you're leaving--I really do enjoy your posts, rare though they are, but I wish you and your family all the best. Take care of yourself.

WHOA - leave for Vegas for the weekend, and come back

Anyways, thanks. I really love your food blogs; I'm just too damned lazy and ashamed to comment on them very often. I like your non-food blogging even more, of course. It's the insight that matters.

Cheers!

I remember a few years back you mentioned a new life in a new state, and I'm glad that you're able to make your new home with your family. Thank you for your wit, wisdom, and empathy through my more years. I've reached an emotional stability, and I owe a huge part of that to your presence, among others.

I wish you all the very, very best with your warm, happy family!! (and good luck getting through those teenage years that you alluded to a few times in more recent posts!) :)

cheers,

Yes, I'll be moving twice in the next year or so. Perhaps eventually even as far West as you are now.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you came back, though I'm thinking of a more permanent leave of absence. Must move on, I think. Best to break it off completely rather than dragging things out (though I believe I've also done that).

where areyou going!??!?!!??!

Good luck with everything! Here's to new beginnings :D

Just moving to an adjacent state for now, but next year...who knows? Not I.

Thanks, and good luck fending off the incessant unwanted attentions of would-be suitors!

Aww. :(

[all2swift]

I think you'll still know how to find me. =)

I've followed your writings for so long I don't believe I remember how long it's been.

Best of luck in all you do. Your writings will be missed.

[all2swift]

Thanks! I'll certainly miss writing among friends. I already do. But doing this takes time away from work and family, I'm afraid. And I'm not willing to continue on writing four uninspired entries a year. So be it.
