It was a much colder day eight years ago. I had been picked up from the airport with a sign that called me Andy. The elevator to the office made some very dangerous sounds. I moved into a Brazilian hotel just yards away from Times Square. I had been looking forward to this day with such high expectations, I had completely forgotten to think much further, or about the consequences.
It is exactly 8 years ago that I arrived in New York for good.
Looking back at that day, I realize that I had made some really daring decisions; I am glad I did.
It was a much colder day eight years ago...
I feel really lucky to still be here...
