Moving Day minus 4...
We're still moderately well on track to get out of here on Tuesday morning. The kitchen is about half-packed, the office is clear except for the computers, and a pretty good crew of people is showing up Saturday and Sunday to help us box our lives up.
Years of deferred maintenance are getting addressed on our way out. We're getting a new roof tomorrow, the air-conditioning guys are coming Monday, and a plumber is coming either today or Monday. This joint should actually be in pretty good shape, just in time to turn it over to Meg.
I've added Rockville's weather to the right-hand column, so those in Fargo can marvel at Washington-area, uh, humidity levels, just as those in D.C. stood agog all last winter at N.D.'s temperatures. It's actually two degrees warmer in Fargo than it is in Rockville as I write this (uh-oh).

re "years of deferred maintenance": from our experiences, I've found that this almost constitutes, in itself, reason enough to move every few years. As you pack, you'll no doubt discover all sorts of long-missing goodies; this will continue when you unpack in Fargo. Not only that, but having to think about where to deploy stuff in the Fargo house will make you reconsider what matters, and where it belongs, in the Rockville house. Moving is cathartic.
well, you know, global warming starts in the north and moves south . . .
good luck with the move (and the bar)!
I am glad you left. The air in Rockville already smells sweeter.
