Back to the Big City
Today while you're reading this, I'm driving a U-Haul and relocating my oldest son back to NYC. He was born there but didn't live there until he was 25. I did this trip in reverse 3 and a half years ago when I knew he was at a very low point. I flew into Newark, stayed in Brooklyn, and the night I arrived, a huge snowstorm hit the east coast and pretty much everything shut down.
But, the next morning an Uber picked us up and took us back out to NJ to get our U-Haul truck. It took us 6 hours to get back to his apartment in Greenpoint, load up, and get back across the river and on the road.
Today we do it in reverse. He's spent these past few years getting his bearings again in Cincinnati, working hard, doing fashion shoots both here and in New York, and is now returning. So we get the U-Haul, load him up, drive to Hell's Kitchen to his new apartment, then I fly back out of Newark to Ohio.
While I will certainly miss having him close by, I know NYC is what he needs to get back to now. I lived there for 20 years, starting when I was 23 and in design school, so I understand why he must return.
I should be back at the desk Saturday afternoon if I can get my flight out of Newark. What with the gov shutdowns, I know TSA is crippled, so we shal see.
