Packin' My Bags and A-Leavin'

Hey Folks,

I'm moving.  Packing my bags and a-leaving, finally.  I'm uprooting myself from my native Los Angeles, CA for the wild grey yonder of Seattle, WA.

And knowing me, this will be my fate halfway there:

Avouer qu'on est perdu - Cumulonymbus

In other words, lost as a bat in broad daylight.

So, for about two weeks (give or take), I will probably be missing in action.  Rest assured, I will think about you all every single day.  There will be much weeping and shaking from withdrawal, but I will be brave about this.  It's not like we're breaking up.  It's...it's just a brief, necessary pause to start afresh.  In more ways than one.

When I come back, I promise to shower you with lots and lots of ridiculous attention.  You'll beg me to stop.

Hooray!

  1. Good luck with the move! I've always wanted to go to Seattle & I tend to say it's a place I'd like to live (despite the fact that I've never been there - I just know!). Hopefully I'll get to trek out west sometime in the near future.

  2. I hope you don't end up on a bench somewhere reading an old fashioned map :)

    Safe travels and good luck with your move/journey. Can't wait to hear back from you once you're settled in wherever you end up.

    Happy weekend to you!
