Go West Young Man!

This Thursday I take permanent leave of Boston to make my new home in lovely Vancouver, BC.  Boston has been my home for over 4 years now and after growing up in neighboring NH I honestly never thought I’d be back here this long.

Though it won’t be the place I’ll miss, it’s my friends and I wish they were coming with me.  I’ve tried to convince several of them to do that.  Why can’t we all live in the same place?

On Tuesday my u-pack boxes arrived and I squeezed in all the possessions I hadn’t thrown out in the last couple weeks and feel are worth bringing across the country.  I actually don’t have many of these things even though they add up quickly.  On Friday Moose and I will have left Boston on a grand trip across the states.

Moose is too old to fly anymore, he might not even make this trip in the car, not really; he should be fine. But luckily I won’t be alone with a dog who farts a lot as two of my best friends and I are cramming into my little car to catch baseball games on the road as we make our way from one coast to the next.  Thus our route isn’t a clear shot from one place to the next.

I will be partially online during the trip, uploading photos of baseball stadiums, cities, arches, and other parks along the way.  I also want to keep up with all the changes we’ve got planned, Thunderbird is starting to make so much progress it would be crazy to take too much time off right now.

Thanks to everyone I’ve met in Boston, all the friends I’ve made.  Please come visit me in Vancouver.
