Summer has bid a fond farewell. He has tipped his cap to us here in Brooklyn and given us to the ole' "go get 'em sport"....."see ya' round the bend" look your tee ball coach used to throw your way when things didn't work out as well as you would have liked your first at bat of the season. Although it does seem anti-climactic since I am no longer student of higher education in the school of academia, but rather a regular old Joe, "working with my nose to the grindstone" or whatever ancient work analogy you would prefer to use here. Summer's don't really revolve around the usual aspects of my misbegotten youth, whatever they may be (golfing and drinking, drinking and swimming, drinking and drinking, etc...). Oh how fruitfull those summer's were. Not a moment wasted right? That's what we said. How how humerously ironic, sad, and hillarious it all is now. None the less, Fall is upon us here in this fair metropolis and I can honestly saw that I am sad yet very happy all at the same time. I love the Falls here in the Northeast part of this country, however I am somewhat dismayed to say that as for the forseable future, it is my last for sometime. A little over a year now I moved to this great city from the Lone Star State, and now I am leaving. However the difference from this time last year, I will not be leaving alone. My wife (of coming upon 5 months) and I are moving to one of the 3 greatest cities in the country, Austin, TX. Most of you may not be familiar with Austin and I all I can say is that you are without a doubt missing out a great deal. From it's breathtaking scenery, to it's politics, to it's ARTS scene, the food, the beautiful people that reside there, everything.....whispers that Austin (although it's growth over the past decade or so) is but a diamond in the rough. We leave Oct. 1, as my wife and I will be taking new jobs down there. My wife, Noelle (in case you weren't aware of who the most breathtaking woman on earth was....that's who it is....call off the search party...) she works for the amazing Whole Foods Market (based out of Austin, TX), and will be transfering to their headquarters store in downtown Austin. Working in Union Square has run it's course as has our living here. We love it in so many ways, but when it comes down to it, the Financial reasons, if I may be so bold, pummel all the other reason's ass's into the ground. I will continue my working for different Health Food and Body Care companies Rep-ing their product, demo-ing their products in Health Food stores in Austin, and working for a company our of Austin called Presence Southwest. We shall miss our friends here in Brooklyn (which is too beautiful for words), we will miss waiting on the L at 1 am whilst it takes it's merry little time, drinking pints at Pete's Candy Store, The Alligator Lounge, THE LAKESIDE LOUNGE, Benny's Burrito's, Grimaldi's, DTUT's, Crissy and Tim's Roof, Two Boots Pizza, Sweetwater, ENIDS, shopping in the East Village, baby's in Brooklyn (we are with you in spirit Misty and Andrew), our friends at FOREFRONT, Theology Pub, and a million other things, but.......life is bekoning us in A-town and we shall not keep her waiting.Here are some pics of us to keep you steady. More to come. Dry eyes. Soft cheeks. No more pitter patter of wetness on your tissue. God is curious with his moves and ever so delicate with his hand. Ciao.
