HAHA! April Fools!  Well, not really.

So long hot-lanta. It was a fun and eventful 3-year stint in the capital of the south. I’m in the boomerang express back to NYC. Its not that I didn’t like the ATL, its just that I love NYC. So between the job offers and the tornado doing a number on my possessions, the time was now. I’ll just have to get back to riding the subway, being tempted with MILLIONS of restaurants and bars, and fall back into the realization that my living space will cut in half and probably cost twice as much. The price you pay, right?

So, I bring up an interesting idea - is what I am doing called “relocation” or is it “delocation”. I am returning, or more commonly known as boomeranging. From a high level, it looks like I just “stopped off” in A-town. A small tour, right Skipper??  What are the things that matter most?  What drives someone away or lures them back?  In some cases, those can be the same thing.  There wasn’t one thing that I can even really put my finger on that is the #1 reason.

Anyway, so long to the great friends I’ve made over the last 3 years.  Its been fun.  I’ll miss the good times, from the hockey games and outdoor happy hours to the impromtu backyard cookouts and college football blowouts. I WILL NOT miss spending my free time in traffic, waiting 30 minutes for a cab to show up, and dealing with people who still believe the “war” is not over.  Good with the bad, right?

So, here we go.  Back in the human grinder known at NYC and home of a proper pizza slice and bagel.  Hope to see you all soon.  Now all I have to do is sell my stupid car.
