Big pats on the back, you's guys

To Therese, Zach, Eric, Eric, Lisa and Ron, thank you, tenfold, for risking three flights of terribly rickety stairs to help J and me move. It would've been impossible (or more truthfully, too horrific) to do without your help. We can't thank you enough. I only wish I'd thought of buying tubes of Aspercreme to hand out afterwards.

The first box unpacked was marked "DVDs." Priorities, priorities. In the initial two hours in our new place, we rested our weary bones while watching Amelie. Sigh.

I can do cartwheels in the hallway. Logistically, if not physically.

New apartments/homes are exciting. The walls are freshly painted [white]. It's like starting with a blank canvas.
