Long-overdue update

[chicken]

Hello from Florida. Leaving Massachusetts and Rhode Island was difficult, mostly because the movers showed up 7.5 hours late, making me miss saying goodbye to my friends and co-workers, and generally making that entire day a horrible nightmare. Nonetheless, things got better after that (in spite of the bad traffic and weather in Connecticut).

We are settled in our new apartment, the cats are happy (see the Flickr pictures as evidence of this), and I have had three job interviews during the last week.

The weather isn't nearly as hot, humid, or thunderous as people feared/claimed/warned. It's really very lovely, actually, and gas only costs $2.79 a gallon. Of course, auto insurance is way more than in Massachusetts (but there is no automobile property tax, so it balances out).

I have skimmed back over my friends page and will try to read it more regularly from now on. I missed you all.

Glad you're back posting, and that the trauma of moving is over. The new place looks very lush. In one pic Pearl looks like she's just seen some kind of beastie she's never seen before, maybe some tropic-plumed bird.

I hope the jobs get into a bidding war for you.

She probably saw a Gecko, she loves those!

Many thanks, and cute icon.
