So. Erika, my beloved and most favorite cousin, broke unto me a little piece of news. She’s leaving. Back to California for Erika. To which I say:
What about all the great times you had here? The search for housing? The search for employment? The bad job? The underwhelming winter? The next search for housing? The next bad job? The protracted and painful breakup with your boyfriend? The next search for housing? The finding of the fabulous studio apartment in the West Village which cost more than you could rationally pay? The overwhelming winter? The sudden loss of the studio apartment? The yet another search for housing? The couch-surfing? The finding-and-then-immediate-loss of the perfect gigantic East Village loft? The more couch-surfing? The return of the East Village loft? The yet another bad job? The horrifying income-tax discovery? The announcement that you were about to lose your East Village loft a second time?
Quitter. Go on. Go back to the land of rock-climbing and hot springs and amorous water-polo players with private planes. See if I miss you at all.
No, I’m fine. Just something in my eye.
Mazel Tov, sweetie. It was great while it lasted. I’ll miss you lots.
