Rob and I have been in NYC for the past two years on a house swap. That ends on the last day of August. After thinking about it, we’ve decided to move back to Portland, OR. The houseswap was intended to be a way to try NYC out without committing to it. While I’ve enjoyed a lot of my time here, the experiment has not been entirely successful.
People who’ve already heard the news ask me if this is a good thing or a bad thing. In truth it is almost entirely neutral. There are many things I’ll miss about the City, but I truly loved living in Portland. I have friends in both places that I will miss while I’m in the other.
Based on the way my theater life was before moving out here, I expect I’ll still come back on a fairly regular basis for work. Which, of course, adds to the neutrality of the move. It will be hard to miss a place where I plan on coming so often.
Oh my gosh, I’ll miss seeing you around!
It’s great to have the opportunity to try out a major life change with a degree of reversibility.
Oh YAY! You’re awesome and I’m greedy and want you nearby. 😀
NYC’s loss is PDX’s gain. It’ll be good to have you back.
Aww!
But Portland’s pretty great. I’m sure it will feel good to be back. . .when it’s not raining.
Welcome back!
Two years, eh? That explained all the boxes from those videos in the last post.
Welcome back to the left coast. Or is that the best coast!
Has it really been two years?
Welcome home.
Looking forward to seeing you again!
(And, to repeat a musical question I previously asked in a private message: [http://tinyurl.com/esglg])
It will be good to see you both again for more than a visit. Our gain for sure.
