Glad To Be Back (For Now)
I’m pretty happy to be back home in California. The echoes of NYC car alarms and other stimuli fade away. I’ll be back there in mid-August for a few days, and then comes the Long Drive West across the Country!
There’s a lot I can say about the pros and cons of NYC and Petaluma. If I were really hip, I could just podcast it in 5 minutes. To write it down has taken longer, and I’m not happy with the result.
The gist of it is that I love both places, but don’t want to spend 12 months a year in either.
A big thing I have learned from the bi-coastal experiment is a new-found appreciation for California, and for Petaluma in particular. No place is utopia, but Petaluma is undergoing a pretty significant change for the better these days. It’s a great place to be based.
