One Foot Out the Door

As is probably abundantly clear, I haven’t really been updating this space so much lately. Work and a houseguest and preparation to leave have made it hard to find the time. The fact that Amy is doing such a great job documenting what’s going on in our household over on her site makes it hard to see the point.

With less than 48 hours left till we head back to the States, I’m experiencing the sensation not unlike being at the end of a vacation and sitting at the hotel waiting to go to the airport. If not for wanting to see some of our friends one last time, I would be just as happy sitting in my office in NYC or our new house in Austin right now. Tonight we’re going up to the mountains with Mike, Bjorn, and some other regularly occurring characters for a final throwdown. Tomorrow will be all packing and errands.

So, this is it. It’s been fun but I don’t see myself keeping up this journal once we’re back in the U.S. Though who knows? Maybe I will be inspired by my fuel-efficiency research, quest for the perfect BBQ ribs, and the vagaries of home ownership.

Thanks for tuning in over the past year.

Though I was expressly forbidden to spin the cars on the ferris wheel last night, that didn’t stop Amy from doing it.
