Departing Oz!
... to a debauched and yet respectful end, to be replaced by uncertainty and a good deal of freedom. No job, no house, no responsibilities, apart from the minor one of keeping myself from dying.

Sometimes you hear about an acquaintance - that guy who is thick as fudge, and who can barely navigate his way around a 7/11, let alone a foreign country - ...
