Homeless Now

Well, here I am in DC, ready to start work tomorrow. This will be my fourth bed in four nights (my own, air mattress in my apartment, Pete Ganeff's spare bed, Brad Andresen's couch.) I will be ensconced here until Wed., and if my stuff isn't here it will be back to the air mattress.

The drive out was as cool as 13 hours in 2 days can be. Coming from Morgantown, W. Va. through Western Maryland on 68 was really beautiful. I know it took me longer to get out here than I wanted, but it resulted in me coming through the Appalachians in beautiful fall color. It was perfect except for the 2 mile fogbank, and the westbound accident that apparently caused. Oops. I didn't stop to gawk.

To commute to work from Brad's place near Georgetown, I have to cross to Virginia, then back, then damn near back again. But it's only three work days.

More later.

Glad you made it out safe. How long is your commute? I hope your stuff gets in.

It sounds like your temporary commute is a lot more strenuous than mine was. I just had to walk past a long optical bench and past a few wasps.

Glad you made it out there. Enjoy working for money.

I, for one, am sick of your excuses. I need more blog entries to keep me awake at work. NOW!! :-P

I mean, great to hear you made it! The Appalachians rock. I need to schedule a vacation in the autumn and drive Angela up through them.
