Back in Maryland

I am now officially moved out of the city of Madison and back home in Silver Spring, MD! Thanks to Rick, Peters, Timpone and Link for helping me pack up the 12 foot Penske truck and to Timmy B for diligently watching the truck and grilling some sweet hamburgers on the front porch. My parents flew in yesterday morning and we made it to Chicago before hitting really bad traffic, so we ended up stopping in for the night in Coldwater, MI at the awesome lake home of Bill and Renate Brenneke. Back on the road at 9:00 am this morning and a little less than ten uneventful hours later I was back home... at which time my father decided we (and by that he of course meant Jon, David Spitzer, my neighbor Mimi and myself) should get everything unloaded and into the basement tonight so the local thugs wouldn't get my bags of laundry and IKEA furniture.

I'm out of here in a little more than a week and there's a lot to do but I'm going to try and get in the habit of posting at least once a day. Hope everyone is well and keep in touch.
