…but still up for sale. The packer came on Friday and packed all my “fragiles” (dishes, some figurines, etc.) and on Saturday the movers came and put all my boxes and furniture into a truck. The house is now empty but desperately waiting for a professional cleaning crew to come in on Monday or Tuesday to clean up, especially the dust bunnies with big pointy teeth. (Hardwood floors look great but the breed dust, even under things like entertainment centers.) Mary is off to close on the house in Lincoln tomorrow and then we’re off on Wednesday evening to “accept delivery” of my stuff, scheduled to arrive at the new house on Friday. Honestly, I’m not sure all of this has hit me yet but I’m sure it will soon.

It will hit you when you are up to your armpits in boxes that need to be unpacked!!
Ha! I was geotagging some photos that I took at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science earlier this month, and when I started clicking around on this map of people’s Denver photos, I ran across yours (which I instantly recognized, having seen them here).
If I haven’t said so before, best of luck in the move, and I’m sorry I’m not likely to see you so much in the future–I was looking forward to hanging out with you at future CAL conferences.
