As you were all already aware, I’ve been somewhat time-limited due to taking on extra work doing food deliveries, the upside of which is that I’ve gotten some really good writing out of it.

But now we’re onto the next phase.

My father in law passed last December. My oldest at-home child has now graduated high school from the same academy she’s attended since the 6th grade. Our business interests here are in a state of transition.

We still have friends here, but we see them very rarely, and as our kids have gotten older, there has been a divergence in interests and pursuits between most of the ones who are similar in age. Real estate here is insanely expensive, and our kids miss the woods and the trees and the autumn leaves and the winter snows.

Our ties to this place are quickly dissolving.
