Back in January, I accepted a promotion to a position in Minneapolis with the understanding that I would be commuting there until the fall when the sidekick was finished with Graduate School.
And so seven months later, we’re almost to the end point.
On Wednesday, the movers come to pack. Thursday, they load the truck. Friday, I set out with Galadriel for Woodbury, Minnesota with an overnight stop in Toledo, Ohio. Fun.
Moving in a week and a half 1400 miles from Boston to Minnesota. Just wrapped up a major remodel in my area of responsibility at work. Arranging insurance, parking in downtown Minneapolis, and all of those fun things….
Movers come in a week to pack, then load, then I set off on a 1400 mile drive with the cat. Why? Trying to fly with her would be worse…
Still biking – 49 miles this weekend and twelve miles yesterday despite a funky handlebar riser. To Houston the next two days then home to await the movers.
More soon, I hope…
This post, and it’s predecessor, brought by you by the Black Rose at Boston’s Fanueil Hall, co-sponsored by Guinness and Harp, the only beers of choice.
The Black Rose is the quintessential Boston Irish Bar. And the decor, the servers, the food, and the service show it. But this is just the prelude.
Tonight, the sidekick and I head to Sandrine’s for dinner. Oh joyous joy. Choucrote and some other treats from Alsace. mmmmm
Photo by the Sidekick with the new Nikon D70.
In Boston’s Old Granary Burying Ground near the Boston Common lie three of the five Massachusetts men who signed the Declaration of Independence. John Adams, cousin of Sam, lies six miles to the south in Quincy, Massachusetts next to his son – both Presidents of the United States.
Rest in peace….
Leaving soon to catch some sun with friends out at Woods Hole, MA.
