Weekly Three
HEAR: “Movin’ Out (Anthony’s Song)” by Billy Joel
READ: A very literary essay about Thomas Mann that you probably don’t care about.
VIEW: This YouTuber mountain biked in all 50 states. Here’s his ride in Illinois.
No. 63: D-day
As you read this I’m beginning my drive across the country for my new home in Illinois. Wish me luck. After weeks of processing my own decision to move, I’m definitely ready. It helps, too, that all of my possessions are in a box on a truck somewhere, and that I’m (technically) homeless. But, really, I'm excited for all the unknowns to come, and for the experience of living in my very own house.
It goes without saying: I'll let you know how it goes.
Until next week.
With love,
Matt ♦
