ALL ABOARD!

After Six years, two months and some days and hours, the decision was taken: we're leaving New York City.
We could have stay for many more years but, since around November of last year a had a hunch. It was like a voice saying to me "get out before November 2008, get out."
My wife always says that I have some kind of radar to detect dangers in advance, and indeed there's something that has allowed us to avoid some weird situations.
So, after finishing our business here, we'll be back to our home country, at least for a few years, very soon.
My wife has almost finished here PhD thesis defense with outstanding results. I'm extremely proud to say that along this time, studying in one of the toughest universities of the world, after and investment of close than half a million dollars, she is going to came out with a Masters and a PhD having only "A"as grades in all her courses.
I love this city, we love this city, and very dearly.
New York has been most generous, kind and amazing with us. We came with some ideas, some goals, and she has help us to achieve not only each one of them but many more.
We even have a child that is a fully, real, unique NATIVE NEW YORKER. As beautiful as the most beautiful moments we have live here.
I came just as a writer with some good background and New York turned me into a grown up writer.
How can you say thanks for all that?
Impossible.
But New York is more than a city, is indeed a state of mind.
That's why I'm going to keep that name for my blog. No matter where we're going to land, when feeling inspired, admired, smooth, all at the same time, I'll be in a NY State of Mind.
I love you NY.
