"Left my Home in Georgia,
Headed for the 'Frisco Bay..."
One of the best things about my new place here in San Francisco is my mailbox. No longer do I have to trudge to the street to get my mail; oh, no. It's right outside my door, literally two (maybe three, if you're pushing it!) steps from my front door, all shiny and faux gold embossed with the word "Carbo" (the previous occupant of Apt. #1, apparently) scratched out, soon to be replaced by my own. My trusty key allows me an immediate glimpse on how much I'm proverbially 'loved', though up until (hopefully) now my only admirers or meager acquaintances go by the names of "Comcast" or "SBC" and their correspondence, needless to say, is less than anticipated. Instead of lamenting my poor fortune, I thought I'd instead look on the bright side; after all, I hadn't yet sent out my new address.
So, without further ado, I have formally bid adieu to Atlanta (leaving it literally behind last week as I carted 1/2 the menagerie in the backseat and took off for the open road, inspired by my purchase of the windscreen for the Saab-alamobile) and have taken up residence on the West Coast; specifically, San Francisco. Though the apartment is what I'll kindly refer to as "cozy", let this serve as your official invitation to come visit ANY time...I'd love to have guests! In the meantime, however, inundate me with communication so I don't feel so "on the other side of the world"-ish as I have been.
And for those of you who are still feeling charitable, am now reaching the land o' desperation in terms of my darling house - it's for rent ($1800/mth) or sale ($335,000) - I'll consider a lease/purchase as well - here's the webpage with all the info...please pass it along if you haven't done so already and you'll receive my eternal gratitude (and heck, a cash prize!) if you refer me to the person who buys or rents it. I'm not above a bribe.
(GO HERE! CLICK HERE! LOOK HERE! RENT/BUY HERE! And yes, subtle I am not.)
Until next time, I suppose I'll just be
"...Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay, Wastin' Time."
Congrats, Aubrey! I daydream about moving to San Fricisco at least twice a week--I'm still trying to convince the wife. Still trying to convince my wallet, for that matter.
