I'm Sooo Friggin Blessed

Sat down for a last cuppa and to get myself ready and played this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSFANgQ6qOQ I'm overwhelmed with gratitude for all that's happened and for such incredible people in my life. I wish everyone had it as good as me.

Outta Here!

It's T-4 hours and I'm outta here. It's a beautiful blue sky day and all the snow melted away. About a dozen terrific people will flood this place at 11 and I'll get out of their way and go open the new place to get the food and drink ready with Barb. Pinch me. I can't believe I'm escaping this place. If the party breaks early enough I'll be back to blog tonight. If not I'll catch up tomorrow. Wish us luck.

Close Call & Last Call

It's all packed and over but the shouting. The day started out scary with snow forecasted and it was falling this morn, but soon turned into a Spring Snow and is already gone. Thanks Thor!!And this is my last night in this place. A lot has happened here. A lot of it not good. I'll miss Joe's Saturday lunchbreaks and the dj's from the studio downstairs being so close but really, nothing else. This was a tough, cramped, expensive, noisy, incredibly dusty cellblock of a building to live in. I went through a lot of changes here. When I get in that elevator tomorrow I won't look back.

Poissons d'Avril

Noted journalist Christian Avard sent an email to alert everyone to today's alternate news source: Vermont Tigger. http://vermonttigger.blogspot.com/ Happy April Fools Day!

This is Only a Test

It snows, oh it snows. The move is tomorrow; everything is set. My stalwart native Vermonter aide will be here today at 11:30, gods bless her. School isn't even closed. And considering the temp is right about freezing now and will be in the mid-forties at the time of the loadout, it'll be fine. The ground's been warming for a couple of weeks and people are sugaring... it won't be snow for long. Sorry Frosty. Update: It's 9:30 a.m. and it's turned to sleet, and will become rain. Thanks, Thor. phew...
