Bucket Lists, Linkless Lists
I don’t have a bucket list for leaving NYC. My fake answer is “the last seven years are my bucket list.” In truth, there is no way for me to be done with the city and feel totally ready to move on. But with my mom and aunt visiting over the last few days, I’ve come a little closer to being ready to say goodbye. Here’s what we’ve done. My initial list had links but I can’t seem to get them to copy over, so if any of this is intriguing, google it or ask me about it:
