Go West Young Man

This is a photo Beth took of the moving truck at the end of a grueling day yesterday.  The fact that they drove the Toyota right onto the truck was a bit of a surprise but I guess it makes perfect sense.  All of Beth's hard work in packing up the house will soon be my problem out in Idaho. The truck is scheduled to arrive at the Boise house on Monday for the off-load.  Then I get the joy of unpacking all of those damn boxes ;-) 

This whole relocation adventure didn't really sink in until I saw this photo.  The reality of seeing all of your possessions on a truck definitely drives the point home!  However, before long, I'll be firing up tools in my new and very much improved shop.  These thoughts alone are enough to make me giggle with excitement like a little kid...I'll post photos of the house and shop when things begin to get settled.

In the home stretch

Headed back to NY for the weekend to help Beth finish packing up the house before the big move to Idaho.  Movers are scheduled for next Tuesday and Wednesday to load and drive all of our shit cross country.  Thank god for my new company's generosity in picking up our re-lo costs or Beth and I would be faced with some SERIOUS downsizing.  It's amazing how much crap you can accumulate over 15+ years.  It also doesn't hurt to have more square footage than 2 people really need...We both hope this is the last big move we do for the rest of our lives.  This whole packing, purging, and stressing thing is exhausting.  However, there is that big carrot hanging out there and it's a new & exciting lifestyle in Boise! 

Now...if anybody wants a great old house in the historic Hudson Valley in NY, please let me know!

My favorite beer bar in NYC.  Make sure to visit Patrick and the gang whenever you're town.  You won't be disappointed.
