Home’s a funny thing for me. My home’s in Denver, Colorado, thanks very much. It’s also in the middle of South Dakota, and maybe a little bit in Sioux Falls.<\/p>\n

And it’s in New York. God, but I love this place.<\/p>\n

Kate and I started dating awhile back, and for two years we did the long distance thing. Phone calls. Online MMO play-dates. And a trip back and forth from Denver to NYC (or vice versa) every three weeks or so. Frontier airlines declared bankruptcy the same weekend we got married. No joke.<\/p>\n

Thing is, I haven’t been back since the wedding. 20 months (not counting 48 hours last holiday season, because I don’t).<\/p>\n

This year, we’re taking more time. Family Christmas at the in-laws. A day or two in the city to see friends I haven’t seen in almost two years. In The City, which thrills me; GOD<\/em> I miss that town. I had no idea how much until I emerged from the terminal last night and took a deep breath.<\/p>\n

And coughed in the taxi fumes, but whatever. Shut up.

I fell in love with New York as I fell in love with Kate, is what I’m saying (which is good, as she will always and forever be a New York Girl). It, too, is my home, if it will have me.<\/p>\n

Merry Christmas, happy fools. <\/p>\n
