I kept telling all the people I was meeting at this party that we were in the greatest city in the world. Over the course of the day I had driven across a great deal of it, where 7.5 miles takes an hour in the car. In that time I drove by famous actors, ate food that makes me sweat just thinking about it, saw a city that truly never sleeps, and best of all, shared it with people I love. I had driven there alone, but was joined by aunts, uncles, and cousins; my best friend from the days of band nerdom; and a newly relocated dear friend from college. The family, they've lived there for all their lives. The friends, they're chasing dreams, moving over a thousand miles to pursue their ideal lives and happiness. I've joined them in the journey, but I'm not with them in that city.
Not yet, anyway. That should probably be the next step. September 2006. I hope to be there. It's the greatest city on Earth, and I'd have great people with which to share it.
