And finally, New York. After several days of relaxation at my parents' house we hit the road early this morning for the very last drive in the Honda. It's not fun to drive into New York City with no idea of where you're going. Scratch that. It is fun, but only after the fact. The same could be said for trying to take the subway to and from an unknown destination.
(Erin is reading this over my shoulder and disagrees. "Everything in New York is fun," she says. Of course, she's also totally insane.)
But we made it. We're at my brother's very nice apartment in Brooklyn and will be sleeping quite soon, as we must wake up before the ass crack of dawn in order to deliver Erin to her flight back, in NEW JERSEY. Newark, New York, what's the difference? So yes, Erin is leaving the East Coast and all who reside here (me) for the evergreen hills of Portland. There she will attend to her turtle who managed to live through a close encounter with her mother's dog. (Erin's mother, not the turtle's.) Bruno the turtle apparently ambulates just fine regardless of his missing leg and the loss of 32% of his charming turtle color. He emphatically does not walk only in circles. I can't believe you'd even ask that.
Anyway, when Erin is safely packed off to the Pac-NW I'm going to go back to sleep. Then I will test my tolerance on New York. I'll let you know how it turns out.
(Erin is whispering evil things to me about the power of New York. I want to make sure, since she will be back there and I know it's only you Seattle guys who read my blog, that you understand that she is totally insane.)
So to Erin, Bon Voyage! And to (Seattle) Chase, congratu-fucking-lations on the new job. That seriously kicks ass. And to the rest of you, where's my CD, damnit?

Posted by: alexs at September 21, 2004 04:46 PMIt's not necessarily only the Seattle guys who read your blog. Since Alex has pretty much stopped writing his own, the only way that I can keep tabs on him (short of actually calling him once in a while) is to read his friends' blogs every now and then.

Posted by: bean at September 22, 2004 09:24 AMBruno is getting down to his last day of antibiotics. After tomorrow, I will have been at the vet four times in four days. Liz! Send me pictures!! I want to remember when I wasn't looking for a job and when I was driving for fun.
Posted by: Erin at September 28, 2004 05:20 PMDamn! I'm such a slacker! Okay, before I leave for the debate party tomorrow I promise to send you at least 15 pictures. Anyone else want to be cc'd?
Also, Alex: thanks for the thing with the little box with numbers. Not only does it seem like it's working fine, but it also makes me feel soooo important...
Posted by: liz at September 29, 2004 09:02 PMGive please. I like an escalator because an escalator can never break, it can only become stairs. There would never be an escalator temporaly out of order sign, only an escalator temporarily stairs. Sorry for the convenience. Help me!

Period ruins and quarters: over, a feature will maintain account if there is a multiple country of environmentalist in the author or if spot exchanges are introduced to be wealth-generating, currency trading.
