I’m moving to San Francisco in two weeks. It’s another chapter in the story of my life, and one I’m very much looking forward to seeing unfold. Things are a wonderful combination of overwhelming and exciting all at the same time.

Some folks say that moving from one end of the country is a big jump. Well, I don’t know about that. It’s as if I were moving from Chelsea to the Upper West Side or from Manhattan to Brooklyn, except in terms of scale. That’s what I tell my pillow at night, anyway.

Having lived in New York City for well over 25 years, I can definitely say I’m ready for a change.
