I have been quiet on the ole blog over the last few days as I am in the middle of a move from Boston across the country.
It is always a pleasure moving isn't it? We did it ourselves. Packed the truck, and drove the truck.
The drive was uneventful, but was made better due to the following:
iPod w/ FM tuner: We were spared the routine of hunting through stations telling you about the pork belly prices, as we were able to play DJ with the iPod. The truck was obviously not going to have a CD player or anything, but FM it did had... and we were saved.
Amish: One of the funniest sights that I had was in Indiana. I was at a service stop, and saw an Amish family (in full garb) rushing to a video game area of the mini-mall. Not only was it comedy to see these people enjoying the games so much (I thought they were all about dissing "new fangled gismos"), but they also chose to play a DRIVING game. The last thing that I would want to do after a day on the road is play a game that has you... DRIVING!
I am glad to say that we arrived safely, with car in tow, and look forward to moving into our new house tomorrow morning!
Then, after a quick week I will be flying out to JavaOne. I hope to see anyone there!
