For better or for worse, I have left the city of Atlanta, GA and am now back in New York City. I am glad to be back. This is home. The shoe fits. I plan to stay.

Atlanta was a great adventure. It required me to drive, which was no small feat. As I explained to a friend once, growing up in New York, I thought that driving was an occupational choice, not a requirement to buy a loaf of bread. Thanks, Atlanta, for making me a more “normal” car-friendly American.

I’ll likely have some musings about the experience and maybe wax a little nostalgic about the things I enjoyed during my stay in Atlanta.

But it’s great to be back in the Rotten Apple. Where everything is great except the lack of central air conditioning.
