A commercial audition yesterday morning was a nice way to start Celebrate Life Day. It was at a casting office that I hadn't been to out here yet. But I have been to their NY office. And the set up and look of the office was very similar to NY and I had to double check my memory to see if I had been to there at some point or just to the one in NY. I decided it was the latter scenario. It actually made me feel a little nostalgic for my NY days. People alway ask me, "Do you miss NY?" I feel like I'm put into a corner with that question! Much like I imagine children of divorce feel like when someone asks, "Do you want to live with your mom or your dad?" Obviously, if I could have NY and LA be in one place, that would be the ideal situation. And there is a definite source of pride that comes with living in NY and I guess that is part of my answer. I was in NY for five and a half years. And I loved it. And if work took me back to NY, I would happily be there. But...I kind of love LA. I love the friends I've made and the people I've met. I love the opportunities that always seem to be percolating. I love the weather. I was in NY for a quick day trip last month and, no doubt, I miss my friends there and our old neighborhood haunts. I miss the theatre and the pulse of the city. But LA is home now. And there's no place like home.
