Timetable

It's all starting to sink in. It is all happening far too rapidly. Today is the 17th and Matthew is in town to celebrate his birthday week. You see his friends in Las Vegas don't have enough money to take him out to dinner for his birthday so he's here for a WEEKS worth of celebration with his friends who have jobs.

He'll be here through Sunday.

I have Monday/Tuesday off. I work Wednesday, and then Thursday I go off to Atlanta to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday with The Hochmans.



The Hochmans

I stay in Atlanta until the 2nd of December, and then back to work on the 3rd and 4th.

On the 5th, I fly into Seattle and on the 10th I fly back to Minneapolis out of Portland.

That gives me the 11th-14th to fix everything that broke at work while I was on vacation.

On the 15th I close on the house in Hopkins and I have to have everything done (electrical and any immediate upgrades) and moved in by the end of December.

Then it is a life of Ramen and water for as long as possible.

I'm hoping that all this stuff will still allow me to relax with my family and friends in Atlanta and Seattle and Portland because I've got some GREAT stuff planned for the trip.

On the 5th I'm going with some friends to see The Tallis Scholars in Seattle with JSB and Mookie and maybe Mt. Baker & Mrs. Mt. Baker Dave, and if I can bring my sister and Madison, again in Portland on the 8th.

I've got a date with Mr. J. Scott Burk, Esq. at Ikea in Seattle to pick out some home furnishings - Especially a table and chairs for my breakfast nook.

I get to have Thanksgiving dinner with Ma and Pa and Michelle and my Aunt Rose and Uncle Jerry at Winfield's in Marietta.

I get to have dinner at The Highland Tap in Atlanta with Demetrius Jenkins and our old buddy Carl Neely.

I get to have Snappy Dragon, Mom's Teriyaki, and Wild Ginger in Seattle.

As much as I hate flying I have to say that I've got an amazing month ahead of me as well as a stressful one.

LIFE!

How'd that snow treat you guys in the cities? Down here in the hinterlands it's been nasty. I put the jeep in a ditch (no damage) and my brother-in-law totalled his car (no serious injuries.)

I wonder if school will be on tomorrow...
