Au revoir...soon enough...*le sigh*

Things I'll miss about living in San Francisco:

• The weather – sounds strange, but true
• Being able to get anywhere at any time
• Russian Hill – the best freaking hood in the city! Loved living here!
• My sweet little apartment
• Happy hours – and the ease of getting there, getting trashed, getting home
• The immediate “awe” you get from others when you say you live in SF
• Fog horns
• Cable car bells
• Iconic symbols of the city – Golden Gate Bridge, Coit Tower, Transamerica Building, Sutro Tower, Palace of the Fine Arts
• The Presidio – and lazy, reflective days spent there.
• Tourists – I swear, I will miss them
• The plethora of choices for food, drink, shopping, sight-seeing, walking
• The #12 bus home from work…that’s a great line
• Diversity and acceptance, all crammed into a 7x7 piece of land
• The people.
• The energy.

It’s not like I’m moving to another country. Not even another state. But, man, Montclair feels very far from my current home. And though I’ll still work here, I won’t be from here. And that saddens me. Thanks, San Francisco. If all goes as planned, I’ll close escrow sometime in mid-May. That gave us almost exactly 1 year and 4 mos living together…and I’ve loved every minute of it.
