Crossing my fingers that in the end, you come up better than ever -- but not minimizing the size of the task ahead of you. You right; the South African trip, for the moment, is probably toast. But one never knows how life will play out, so will hope for a little miracle there.<br /><br />I have a hard time imagining you away from NYC, with all that it has to offer, but you will know what is right. Sending good thoughts. Probably gin would be more helpful right now, but good thoughts are more useful in the long run.

By no decent person's decree would you be forced to dismantle your deck paradise until it has finished this season, yet from what you have said, nothing would entice your landlord to wait even one month. Each of your trips to South Africa to see your parents is important, and I hope that somehow you can proceed with the next one you have planned. I also hope (and in fact trust) that this onerous move (no pun intended) by your landlord will end up, when all is said and done, putting you and the Frenchman in a place where the two of you can create and nurture for as long as you wish the glorious sanctuary you so deserve. This post is going to my son and his Frenchman, who will spread the word about what you seek to the NYC communities of which they are part.
