Goodbye to Savannah

No, I haven't actually moved yet, but I will be tomorrow and I probably won't have Internet access for a day or so. And I will be coming back later this week to wrap some things up but I definitely won't have Internet access then, so I decided to go ahead and put my thoughts down now.

I've lived here almost twenty-five years. Almost half my life. A lot has happened to me here over the years--I've made and lost friends, grown a lot as a person, achieved a lot, been disappointed a lot . . . same as everyone else, I guess. Over the past few years, though, all of my non-work friends have moved away.

I've been told the change will do me good, and I really think that's true. The area I'm moving to is pretty close to all kinds of stuff--including the Atlanta airport. I may actually do a little traveling, if I can find a little money somewhere for a plane ticket, because of that, since I can catch direct flights to just about anywhere I'd want to go. (Savannah's airport also has direct flights to many major cities, though all of them are Atlanta.)

It's a little ironic that my last weekend in this city is just after the St. Patrick's Day celebration. I didn't do anything for it this year--as I've said before, I lived downtown for several years so I've been through enough of those for a lifetime.

Anyways, the movers come in tomorrow morning, I'll be packing up my computers and losing my Internet connection until I'm up and running at the new place.

Wish me luck as I begin venture into the strange new world that is Douglasville!
