the season
Friends, welcome to my birthday month. It's really a wonderful time of year, don't you think? It is off to a very unproductive start here in the geobibliosphere, but plans are afoot.
We've begun to chip away at our warehouse-of-obsolete-possessions and for once the local hipster consignment shop deigned to pay us for some of our clothes. I always find such transactions to be really demoralizing, but it wasn't so bad this time. Will do the same with some of T's belongings next.
So the reality of our departure is slowly sinking in--the fact that we will move--but the manner in which we will move is still very foggy. It's hard for me to imagine anything less than an transatlantic ship's passage involving steamer trunks, or maybe something tweedy? It's more likely that we'll be leaving with too many oversized, overweight duffel bags, but the whole idea of evocative travel gear is enough to make me consider revisiting my long-abandoned PhD thesis while we're over there. Hm.
