Go West!
It’s been really hard to sit on this news for the last two moths but finally I can share our big announcement: Elvira and I are moving to Salem, Oregon!
After 13 way-too-long years,* we’re finally getting the fuck out of Georgia, packing up the cats and heading west.
We’ll be leaving on July 1st and arriving sometime on July 7th or 8th, with a stop over in Peoria, Illinois to visit Elvira’s brother. I’m planing on shooting photos of the trip and I hope to post those here on the blog while we’re on the road.
Regular posting for the next two weeks or so might be light, as we’re in the midst of packing, looking for an apartment on the other side of the country and all that fun stuff that comes with slowly dismantling one’s life, one box at a time.

*Mostly. I was in Maryland for the better part of 2 years at grad school.
Congratulations, I think. With luck the Midwest will have dried out enough to permit passage in a couple of weeks, but you might consider packing a couple of life vests and extra supplies for the trip.
yes! we’ve been waiting for this post!
Bryan: Our Civic is out fitted with pontoons.
Andy: I had to wait because my supervisor sometimes reads my blog (to make sure I’m not posting during work hours) and I didn’t want her to know before we turned in our 2 Weeks notice on Friday.
I just have to remember “you are only a plane ride away”
Exactly! And the flight is less time than it takes to drive to DC from here.
