Today I spoke with my boss and she, very graciously, consented to allow me to work remotely from our Austin, Texas office. Actually in a bit of a sign of the times moment, working remotely means working 2 time zones closer to her. Isn’t that the internet age?
I love Austin and I can’t wait to get back. LL Cool J can go back to Cali, but my ears long for KGSR, my mouth for Tex-Mex and Mexican Martinis, and my eyes for SXSW.
I’m going back to where I’m from and I’m taking my lady with me.
I’ll miss the South Bay and its mild climate, its dispassionate precipitation. I’ll not miss the ennui, the cubicle mentality, the dearth of community, and the cost of living.
In any case, myself and Elle will be packing up and headed direction east in early-mid June.
See ya’ll Californians at WWDC and SXSW.

Congrats on your news! As you know I long for the Capital City myself.
Congrats, also, on convincing your lady love to join you. I do not know if Austin is her natural habitat, but most species are able to adjust to the climate.
Take her to the bridge and say hello to the bats for me.
Don’t call it a comeback?
Wow. Congratulations—most especially, on making the journey as a couple. It is definitely the only way to go. I wish you much joy!
