My dear friends,
Many of you may know that I am leaving Chicago. I start my new job in May, and I am excited and a little scared for this new epoch in my life. I wrote the following, as a tribute to the city that has taught me so much in this madcap year.

Dear Chicago
Goodbye city, will you miss me,
I'll miss you, that much is true.
Goodbye parks and bars and people
Goodbye dreams I dreamed in you.
Farewell sunswept glistening water,
Greater oceans I've yet to find.
Farewell friends and farewell neighbours,
New hearts and hopes are to be mine.
Goodbye lakeshore, concerts, picnics,
In the sun in Lincoln Park
Scraping-sky iconic buildings
Jazz and blues, beloved landmarks.
Maybe someday I'll return here,
Still a dreamer, not so young.
Keep your promise, keep your people,
Til my wandering days are done.
