In Rochester, packing up. Well, pre-packing. The professional packers come on Monday; so I am doing the sorting and organizing and throwing out that I managed to not do all last year while on my intense travel schedule.
Woke up to a beautiful looking day. Turned on the TV to catch the weather report. It's 23 degrees out!!!! So I won't plan on a morning walk but run up and down the stairs with boxes instead. And I'm very much looking forward to getting back Home West later in the week where the temperatures are humane.

The best thing that humankind invented
Libraries. And all they imply.
Sitting in the public library in Mt View, grateful for the connection. I moved into my place almost 2 weeks ago, have been camping there while deciding what to do about my stuff on the other side of the country, and getting some work done on the place and - oh yeah - working at a start-up that is getting more intense every week. And trade show season is upon us. Fellow marketeers will know what this means!
Tomorrow, I leave for FOSE, a big show we're doing in DC. I am the set up and tear down crew, booth captain plus I'll be working the booth too. What I've gotten done in the past 3 weeks for my day job is amazing (it's not trade shows! Not this year, thank god.) I am so tired and fried I'm surprised that my coworkers can't hear the crackle.
My plan today was to stop in at work, finish a couple things, print out my boarding passes and then get home to continue clearing out the closets as the painters come on Monday. To my dismay, nothing would print. (Yes, I cycled the power on the printers. Yes, I rebooted.) So I am at the local library, now with boarding pass in hand. Yay! And breathing in the smell of all these books. Kindle looks great and I will get one, soon. But for me, nothing beats the feeling of being in a room full of books.
My trip starts in DC, I'll get to see brother John & sis-in-law Amy over the weekend, then I go on to Harrisburg to meet with our US distributor. From there, I go to Rochester and spend a week. Meeting with a mover on the 18th, they'll estimate moving my goods and hopefully we'll schedule for the 23rd. Then back Home West.
I intend to keep the house in Rochester, now thinking of renting it out. I think this will get clear when I'm there.
And I am very much looking forward to my new place being painted, the new carpet in, and some furniture showing up so I can once again entertain.I'll post pics!
