At 9AM. Yesterday I said goodbye to my two best friends, as well as my

Tomorrow morning I head west, across the country. Packing up the Volvo
coupe, securing the Maltese to ride shotgun, saying goodbye to this
city that just never worked for me, where I was unhappy, where my
promise remained unfulfilled. I accumulated a couple of degrees, I
fell in love
(the truth of it, despite how it had to end), I got my dog. I quit and
stayed
quit smoking, and I stayed sober. �It
doesn't look like a waste of years on paper, but in my soul: New York
is a city
I should have visited. I never should have lived here.

I pray, and that is not a turn of phrase - I PRAY that I find the
courage to make my
happiness as I move on to this next stage of my life.

Let me just say that Marv and PB saved my fragile heart last night in
chat. �I was sobbing
and they loved me back to life.

What would I do without A3S?

Dear Stephanie, I am so sorry that New York did not do well by you.
It's funny that years ago, more years than I like to remember, I did
the reverse. I shook the California dust off my stilletto heels and
headed to the city of my dreams, New York. I had to leave for a few
years while my then husband was on a futile job search. We came back,
I worked, I wrote, I prospered, and I have never left it since. My
sons grew up and are now professional men. They visit me as often as
they can. We are always in touch by phone and email. And after all
that, I don't smoke anymore. I am so glad that I met you at the small
AS3 meeting at the Chinese restaurant.

I hope that you will be happy and that you will continue on your non-
smoking path. You will always be part of AS3.

And BTW, I am an expert on moving cross-country, having done it with
two growing sons, one dog, three cats and huge amounts of goods and
chattels. New York to West Virginia to Ohio and back to New York. I
know how hard it is, but it can make you stronger.

Bon Voyage.
