Well, I finally made it.

I'm living in the Pines, all by myself... It's been about a month now, but I only just got around to creating this web page today.

I'll try to fill in the back-story sometime soon (the last month has been pretty nuts).

For now I just want to share this exerpt from an e-mail I sent Jon (the client) last week:

Living out here rocks my world. Taking big gulps of that alone time - my biggest face-to-face social event of the week was the water guy. Going into Sayville to do groceries today was surreal...

The full moon's over the Bay has been dramatic, especially through the changing cloud cover this week. I've develloped an appreciation, finally, for the view from this house - at night, anyways.

Yesterday morning, while I was just waking up, a huge crow cruised in and perched on the flagpole for a while. Eventually he got tired of being so unsteady (or realised he didn't look so cool, swaying back and forth to keep his balance, as he'd thought he would), and he flew off again...

The deer totally think that they own the streets, and I guess they do.

It's nice. I don't miss the crowds, or the noise, or the subway, or the traffic, or the misery on display all the time. I really love people, but right now the deer make better neighbours.
