This post has been so long in coming that it almost feels like I shouldn't bother. But incase you have been completely outside the loop, Beth and are leaving New York and moving west to San Francisco.

This moves goes all the way back to my original reluctance at relocating to New York in the first place. It remains debatable as to whether or not I would have ever gotten off my ass in Chicago but, my personal plan always was to move to the west coast. Now after 8 years in New York, that plan is finally about to be realized. Beth has found a position in San Francisco and Ogilvy has graciously agreed to transfer me (I guess I didn't piss as many people off as I thought). We've found an apartment in the Alamo Square area of San Francisco and we'll be moving in by the end of July.

I've enjoyed my life in New York. I managed to start my career here and I have a lot of great (and life-long) friends to show for the time that we've spent here. But New York can be tiring, especial for those of not originally from the area, and it's time for a change. And the best part?... our address will actually be in San Francisco, not West San Francisco.
