In one week…

We will hopefully sitting somewhere west of here. The dining room table we are sitting at will be packed away in a truck. By now, there should be boxes to the left of us and boxes to the right. But here we are, not much packed.

At least operation “find better housing than a Gortex(tm) box” was successfully concluded. We found a nice 2 bedroom place in Vancouver with an on-site dog park, a garage, and inexplicably 2.5 baths.

The Oregon Trail, about 20 years later

One of the treats of grade school was being allowed to play The Oregon Trail on the computer. I don’t remember finishing the game but I do remember crossing rivers and perishing of dysentery (among other exotic and scary sounding diseases).

In a couple weeks we will be moving west.  I’m glad we don’t have to do so in a wagon.
