For the first time in 20+ years, I won't be buying a season pass this year. It has nothing to do with changes or anything like a lot of people have said... I've taken a job where I will be moving to London in the next couple months. And I will probably finish my career/life there as the position I am moving into is set that way.
It is very bittersweet... This job has been in progress since October and finally was locked down last week. When I went to SDC just before Christmas, I knew it would probably be my last time there. And not being able to just run down there whenever I had time is going to feel strange.
Yes, many new adventures await in London (and Paris and Berlin and Istanbul, etc.), but SDC has been a part of my life since I was a kid in the 70's. And since moving to Springfield in 2016, it has been a constant place I could go when I needed to get away for a bit without spending much money. And I could sit and write or listen or play. It is strange seeing all of the ads and updates and knowing I won't be a part of it. It is like a piece of my life is leaving...
Silly nostalgia... but lots of smiles and memories. Just kind of feeling it today as I started the journey towards London yesterday by starting with the US division again before transferring.
Funny how life is sometimes
