Ciao Ciao

The car is loaded and I’m sitting here with what’s left of Chermon Brew #12.  I had one last breakfast at Tal’s this morning – no longer a working man in the “Office” near the back, but in the general area, a regular guy in a regular cafe.  Matt B. joined me, and afterwards he came over to pick up some cooking knives he’d lent me.  A few more people are on their way to say goodbye, and then I’ll leave this great city.

I’ll be crashing at my sister for a bit, then some grueling travel before arriving at the next destination.  For most, it’s the upcoming leg of my trip that appears most exciting but for me the anticipation is overcast with goodbye, even if there is little doubt I’ll be able to see my family and friends again soon.  In the words of one fantastic robot, “I’ll be back!”
