All Moved!

Moving all the boxes from the truck to the new house took several hours less than doing all the loading the evening before. We got in and started on it at about 10:30, and were all unloaded by about 2:00. A world of thanks to King Rat, wilson lizard, Ron; and John. We're now getting things organized and unloaded, but it's going so much quicker than packing them all up. Wheeeee!
Anyone who wants to see the new place and is local, drop me a quick bit of e-mail and i'll send you directions- the rest of you will just have to wait a bit and pictures- before, after painting, and after completion

Brainwash 'Em Young!

Alexander has had his toy pipes (the blowpipe and chanter work, but the drones are just for show) since he got back from the Yukon with damashita last summer- they were a "welcome home" gift to keep him off of mine- but this was the first time we'd ever 'played' together- this afternoon in our front yard.

What a day. Unpacked a bunch of boxes, did a lot of straightening up, got the cable hooked up, found a phone line long enough to run from the computer to the phone jack, got a bit of pipe practice in, went exploring the neighbourhood a bit- picked up a cord to hook up the dryer, found that the local Fred Meyer carries Fraoch Heather Ale (yum!) as a regularly stocked item (!!!), went over to PCC in Fremont, then to Dusty Strings. Could easily spend hundreds of dollars there. Played both cedar and spruce necked Seagull guitars- decided i like the tone of the cedar ones better, came home and have been catching up on e-mail and friends' LJ entries, and just generally being lazy.
