Courageous Tales of Brave Animals

So as my New York City adventure comes to an end, another will shortly begin. How do I get 60+ lbs worth of clothing and toys up to Alaska and then turn around and bring them back here to the city.

My plans for the next few weeks are as follows. I will return to the land of my birth and eat a sandwich. After many days of laying on various couches and under bridges I shall complete the coursework I have yet to complete to receive my degree. After that I wish to play risk against Keith, Don, Colt, Nick, and Dustin at a very public venue where we will be extremely intoxicated. (It is only for a more realistic battle) Upon my victory, I will pack up everything I think I would need in the city (a bat) and head towards my new home… a storage unit on the bad side of town.

In all seriousness though. I have had a remarkable summer. Everybody in the IRTS group and Kathy along with everybody at WNYC were excellent to me. I can honestly say I have 30 new friends who will be calling and asking for a place to say. The best part of that arrangement is I will be doing the same when I need to travel to Florida, Arizona, Utah, or a whole mess of other useless states. As for WNYC, Patricia and Jenna, without whom I would have never had the opportunity to learn from the many mistakes I used to make or the slightly fewer mistakes I make now. Brigid, my intern partner in crime was always there to point out that Steve Bushemi or Robert Novak was in the building and that we should walk the halls pretending we had something to do so we could bump into them.

Overall this experience has shown me that I do think I could make it in New York City. It is as far away from home as you can get, and that is kind of sexy. Even though this summer has existed in a state of “safe” reality (one where I can’t mess up to bad and things are provided for me) the fun part now comes to see if I will make it in the city or if I shall wither and go back to Alaska to run their public radio network till I die.

Only time will tell.

As for the blog, I will try to keep sparse posts every so often about my time in AK. And will hopefully resume it when I return to NYC.

I know your prayers are with me… I’m going to need them,
Nick
