The time has come for Ali, Jake, and I to bid adieu to
California. When we arrived here in ’12 we knew that we wouldn’t be here
forever and agreed to think of it as a multi-year getaway. We did much of what
California had to offer and are ready to head east.
Believe it or not, the movers came and finished their part
today. It’s hard to be comfortable in our home after all of our belongings have
left (including the bed). Ali got a beanbag that converts into a double-bed-sized
mattress. …Jake promptly claimed it as his own.
We had a lot of fun while we were here but are not real sad about
leaving San Francisco. We are, however, very sad to say goodbye to colleagues,
friends, and the folks who welcome Jake into their stores and shower him with
treats and love.
I’m especially sad to say goodbye to Jeray, my “Little.” We’ve
been through highs and lows and I can’t help but feel like I’m letting him down
by leaving. Ali’s equally sad to say goodbye to her team at work. The contrasts
between private practice and in-house counsel are truly stark. She’s thankful
for those relationships she made here.
So, here we are. Finishing up in our apartments and offices.
Preparing to pick up our chariot from SFO. Smiling fondly in the rear view
mirror. And looking forward to the days, people, and miles ahead of us.
Watch out east coast, here we come! I’m bringing the
California weather so make some room!
