Update from the Road
Greetings from Athens, Georgia, one of my favorite places in the entire world! I arrived around lunchtime at my mother-in-law's house, where I'll be for a couple of days.
It's been such a nice trip so far. I have really enjoyed seeing so much of my family and so many of my friends. I can't remember the last time I ever had this much time to go and see people -- certainly not since I was in school, and maybe not even then. Despite all the long hours in the car, it has been very enjoyable.
I will be back in Connecticut this Sunday. I still have quite a lot to take care of once I get back there, but I hope I can manage it all in two weeks.
Things are progressing in Munich, too. Our air shipment arrived last Friday, and my computer is up and running in the new apartment. Lance is still on the desktop. The sea shipment should reach port around September 1, and may be delivered as soon as September 9, the day after Ziggy and I arrive. I could spend my first few days unpacking.
It's funny to think of being in a different time zone. I'll be six hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time. It reminds me of when I used to e-mail a lot with someone in Sweden, and I always used to look at the clock and figure out the time there. Now I'll be working backwards. Most of my friends and family are in EST, although Alicia is out in LA so we will be nine hours apart. When she goes to bed at night, I'll just be waking up. Hee! It'll take some getting used to, to be on a different schedule from the rest of the people in my world.
Marty and I are both ready for this separation to be over. Past ready, I'd say. Well, it's not much longer now.
If you haven't seen it yet, you should check out The Lunchmeat Chronicles. This is my sister Elisabeth's new online journal. She's a smart girl and I think her writing will be fun to read. She's already got several entries up there.
Now off to relax a little. Shawn Colvin is playing on the stereo, and life is good.
