The bad news is that cost-cutting measures are everywhere, as are rumors and I don t want to get more specific than that. I wasn t hoping for a move prior to next May, since that s when Sage s and my lease runs out actually, it runs out in April, and Sage plans to move in with Mr. Sage in May or June, depending on when he graduates. Or she may find a new place before he graduates. I m actually not ready to leave New York yet. The Smoker has said several times that New York is still a target, to which I responded that I was far safer under terrorist threat in New York than he is on the highways in Atlanta.
Danger is danger regardless.
But, in this particular case, it s more about what I need to figure out for myself which he knew when he finally encouraged me to take this job. And still with The Smoker. And going to the gym on a semi-regular basis. And still writing this. I m not nostalgic for October 2000, mind you.
