In the question of what would happen for us about Iceland, those of you who voted for the angry sheep have won the day. This was actually my code phrase for “We may be asking for too much money.” Because we have a two year commitment to the apartment in NYC, we needed to be able to make enough money to support two households. In part, because I would have to commute between Iceland and NYC in order to keep the puppetry career moving forward.
We are sad that it couldn’t work out, but living in NYC is not a bad consolation prize.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
On a personally selfish note, I’m glad you two are both staying around.
Better things are in store for our Mr. Kowal.
I’m pretty sure you’ll both excel wherever you are, from the sounds of it!
As for commuting between New York and Reykjavík, well… I thought my Brighton/London commute was fairly hardcore, but I bow to your superior air miles!
Many thanks for your support.
Mary, I’m sorry it didn’t work out for Iceland, but NYC ain’t such a bad place to be. I’m glad you’re staying (and so is the whole Altered Fluid crew).
Aw, shucks. I like you guys, too.
It’s much easier to take over the world in NYC than in Iceland. And isn’t world domination your ultimate goal? Of course it is, Mary. Now, go and take!
But, but… Iceland was so perfectly situated between the US and Europe. I really thought that having a sovereign nation under my thumb first would make things easier.
Well, I was hoping that you would both stay in NY and your mother was hoping you would both go to Iceland. I voted for (rather “bet on”) Rob going to Iceland and you staying in NY just because I really thought that is what you would do. I’m glad I lost the bet.
As for the angry sheep - I think you more or less herded them to go where you really wanted them to go all along.
