Well, I’m heading westward in just two (!) days. Fortunately, I have a brother who’s a cartographer – I’ll never be lost.

I forgot how much of a hassle packing up is. I had imagined my last weeks as a bucolic, work-free time, but the reality of boxes has taken over. There are boxes everywhere. And, since I got my packing supplies from the liquor store, I can tell that the people who visit me in these last few days are wondering if I really did consume that case of Natural Light (the water drinker’s light beer).

First few stops on the trip: Connecticut, Ithaca, and Fergus, Ontario.
