on leaving

It's my last day in a three year series of last days of leaving someplace. Except this place is special. Especially in the summer. Outdoor concerts, street fairs, stylishly clothed women and men with sandalled and manicured feet. In the summer this city pulsates with energy and people, all kinds of people, get out and walk and eat at open air cafes and drink throughout the day and laugh ...
I'm going to miss NY, but it's even more difficult leaving in the summer. Maybe this string of gray, rainy days we've been having will make it a little easier. But I doubt it.

so sad to see you go! TO NEW BEGINNINGS!
Maybe you should play a little Frank Sinatra: "New York, New York". Like he said, if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere...although I don't think he was including war-torn Third World countries!
Besides...you'll be back. You can't stay away from NY for too long!
c'est la vie! you will be missed.
Good luck with the move/drive..... tell us stories of the road!
And Brooklyn misses you already!!!!!
I hope you had a good trip.
Holla when you get a chance!
