Tonight was the going away party.  In fact, it is still going.  My last day in America has been fantastic.  Friends showed up whom I haven’t seen in years.  And some friends didn’t make it, but it has been a really beautiful last day.  It almost made me want to stay.  Almost.  I will be on a plane in no time at all.  What a way to end an era.  I move on to the life that only a little boot can offer me.
