On the Move Hiatus: May-June 2011


It's that time of year again for me folks: moving time.  I've been moving from place to place for years now, so much so that I honestly don't know what I'll do with myself once I'm no longer packing my things up every few months. How do normal people, you know, live in one place? It boggles my mind just thinking about it.

But I've signed my contract and start working my new tenure-track job this fall, so for me there is one more major move to go and then hopefully I'll be able to take a break from all the packing and unpacking, at least for a few years. We'll see what happens.

Part of me, however, is really nervous about actually unpacking my things once I do arrive at my "final" destination this summer. I'm so used to leaving things in storage somewhere and only traveling with the essentials; I haven't put books in a bookcase or pictures on walls in as long as I can remember. Why bother? I've got pictures, books, DVDs, CDs, and framed prints that I haven't seen in years and years due to my (extremely modest) jet-setting lifestyle. 

So, for me, this move to the tenure track is also a major change in day-to-day existence. I won't be buying a house anytime soon--I've got WAY too much debt--but I hope to at least be able to stay put for a little while. That's got to feel good, right? 

Good luck to everyone out there in the middle of relocating or currently looking for work. I wish you an uneventful move or a successful job hunt, whatever the case may be. Since I'm on the move, this will be my last post for a couple of weeks.

The more grounded your suppositions, the more smoking the warmth. What's more, "case surveys" of shows seldom do them the equity that they merit. Indeed, even powerless Phish demonstrates - or "beneath normal" as contrasted and other Phish indicates - are still incredible rock shows, including a super vibe, fantastic musicianship, and astounding lights and sound, especially on this visit, which highlighted new, and astonishing, light and sound frameworks.

The wine seems like a fairly decent wine and one that I am going to enjoy. This wine started off being a wine on the lighter to slightly medium depth side of wine. vinyl coated chain link fence
