Lifelong New York City resident, with brief wonderful respites to New Hampshire for prep school and the Boston area for College. But New York City yanked me back after that, and it's been a big tug-of-war trying to leave! But, AT LAST! TA DA! I've just left! I've moved to the countryside! To the Catskills! To the town of my forebears! Where my grandmothers were born and lived! Where my ancestors cut a home out of the wilderness! Grass! Trees! Whitetail deer! Chipmunks! Millions of little chirping birdies! Fierce thunderstorms! Clear blue skies! Nature! Finally, I can sleep, I can breathe, I can LIVE! At LAST! I can LIVE!
