Hello Youse Guys!
Greetings from the Borders at Chestnut and Broad in Philadelphia, where I've stopped to check e-mail and upload a couple about town II photos. (Speaking of photos, one of my photos of some interesting urban textures I noticed at the San Carlos Caltrain station was posted on Lalaland on Saturday. Fitting, as it was our last day in California!)
Al, Annie, and I all survived the move intact, though for Annie especially it was a bit stressful. She'd never been on a plane before, so there were all kinds of crazy new noises to contend with... not to mention the extra security screening she and I were subjected to at SFO. They actually needed to *manually search Annie*, even though I'd carried her through the metal detector. What did they think, that I'd strapped plastic explosives to her belly? (Of course I didn't say that to the inspector, or I would have been led away in cuffs I'm sure.)
Anyway, Annie seems to have adapted to the apartment quite well, and I'm just starting to develop a routine. (Well, I'll wait until the end of the week to determine how "routine" it is.) So far I've got more things to do than I can fit in a day. How did I ever find time to work before?

We're never traveling with our cat on a plane. His name is Hasiba. Seven years ago when my wife got him she named him after the Islamic terrorist in the movie "The Battle of Algiers." Now Hassi stays inside the house for fear of ever having to face the Ashcroft goon squad. He's a good cat, honest.

By dint of not doing all the stuff you actually wanted to be doing :)
I never understand people who say they get bored on long vacations. There's always something else I could be doing that's not work...
Glad you all made the trip safely. We miss you!
