Another one's trading Patagonia jackets and wrinkle free shirts for the A downtown and credit cards left open at bars. SdB lasted longer than any one expected, but in the end, shorter than we all wanted. We're practiced at saying goodbye as he's done this twice before, back in college when he said he was taking off a year, and then again when he said he wasn't coming back until we were almost done, so there's hope we'll be in the same place again somewhere down the line.
Partial comfort comes from knowing he'll be in the same time zone as his girlfriend, his brother, his sister and his parents, though not in the same state as a one of them, while real comfort comes from knowing he's not going back to school or moving into Senorita Salcedo's extra bedroom in Oakland.
Take care of him, New York, his shoulder, his hips and that hairline, too.

Slooooan. Moving to SF was one of the BEST decisions you ever made...at least from my singular perspective, since i only knew about you through princeton gossip and the prince...and moving back to the east coast, one of the WISEST. Thank you Megan, Griff, and Walker for introducing us; it was a short and sweet run. I can't think or write about this any more, as I'm beginning to get teary-eyed.......
ps this pic is a reminder of how ridiculous griff and walker are for their tolerance of freezing conditions.
Sloan - you're moving east? But not to Boston? Is there still time to reconsider?. Go Sox! Anyhow, hope to see you more often now that we're in the same time zone.
Sloan, Bert Mason and I eagerly await your arrival back east! SF's loss is NYC's gain. :)
Sloaner, your brother (Bone) is anticipating your arrival in NYC. He also expects you to visit him in the dirty Have at least once in the three years he's there. Behave yourself until I next see you.
