I don't know how many of these sad farewell posts there will be. It depends on how much of this I can keep bottled up inside.
Kate and I had dinner with
Kerry and Sean last night, two of Kate's best friends. Kerry has been wonderful at planning going away parties and dinners and it's been great seeing her and others before the big move. Michelle always told me that I have great friends. I do. And Kate also has great friends. I think it really shows something about a person when their friends are great people.
Kerry was having dinner with Tim a few weeks back and Tim was saying how surprised he is that I am moving out of New York City. I love New York. I LOVE NEW YORK. This is the greatest place in the world. People say it's big and lonely? I don't buy it. I made more friends here than anywhere else. I ate better, drank better, partied harder. More on that in a future post.
Kerry had the answer. I can move to San Francisco now because of Kate. Kate is the reason why I can leave this city that I fell in love with and return to the west coast. Kate, Kate, Kate. Of course, I love San Francisco too. And I always knew I would return eventually (I thought it would be after a year, but it's been three years). But I would never have returned to San Francisco as a single guy.
New York City gave me the best three years of my life, and it gave me Kate. I will always love this city, and will always return to it.
Fette Sau: meat by the pound, beer by the gallon. An incredible whiskey selection. The tap heads are knives.
