It was a tough decision. After strongly Considering a Return to Columbus, I’ve decided to stay in Seattle. I’ll be moving from the Eastside suburb of Bellevue into the Queen Anne district of Seattle. Below is a photo taken from Kerry Park, which is a mere 0.3 miles away from my new [...]
Last April Kelli came down to San Diego and said some nice things about Seattle. Prior to that visit, I had never even thought about Seattle. After a visit and some research, we decided to move to Seattle. In the comments of my April post, both Melissa and Kelli [...]
Dear Arnold,
Once again I must remind you that I’ve moved to Washington. I’m not paying to have Silver Surfer registered another year in the Peoples Republic of California. I’ve signed two documents already stating as such. I thought this issue was closed back in October.
Unfortunately I received yet another nasty letter from one of [...]

My car will be loaded with essential items. Those include some clothes, my PC and my espresso machine. That way if our movers [...]
Boxes are everywhere. We are throwing some stuff away and trying to sell a few items. I once figured out that I had moved 17 times in a 17 year period. Now that I’m no longer a home owner, I don’t expect that pace to slow down.
A mover will ship our stuff, but we will [...]
