Six month split

Since I first read about them in classic novels, I’ve envied the jet-setters who split their year between two countries. Whether they were doing New York & Paris in the 1890s, or LA & New York in the 1990s, there’s something about that ability to be settled, yet have change, that is extremely appealing.

And what an ideal solution for my “where am I going to live” dilemma. I can live in two places! Spend the summer in Chicago with Tod, then move to Tokyo for the winter. Maybe Tod would even come with…

Honestly, I think this may be the best solution we’re going to see. Four years of discussion have yielded nothing like a single compromise city. Or even a shared country. Why not decide to make the best of both favorite places?

Being normal people, not characters in an Edith Wharton novel or members of the Screen Actor’s Guild, we need to continue making a living. That will be challenging. Time to build up my international reputation as a writer; make a huge success of my book; take up the lecture circuit. Something.

There has to be a way to make this happen. Short of becoming lottery winners, I mean. Posted by kuri at July 26, 2000 07:43 AM
