Invincible defeat

My life now fits in my trunk.

Granted, I do have a fair bit left in the storage unit.  I did sell, give away or throw away the vast majority of my possessions.  The last couple of weeks were an increasingly stressful whirlwind of preparation, and suddenly I am sitting at G & A’s house with virtually no responsibilities and no home.  It’s relaxing and disorienting.

As I drove around on my frantic errands yesterday, there were leaves on the ground, as if it were fall.  And it rained last night.  That was a nice touch.  It’s raining again now, here.

I’m glad I came to LA, and I’m glad I left.  Thanks to my moving helpers for the moving help, and thanks to the farewell partiers for the farewell parties.  I will miss all of you.

I’m in the bay area for the next week and a half or so; I’ll be trying to check in with bay area friends over the next couple of days, but feel free to give me a call if you haven’t heard from me.  I’ve also put up a travel calendar at http://www.niloc.net/calendar/.  It’s pretty general and certainly subject to change.
