Spackle

Swung into Target today to pick up the new Maroon 5 acoustic CD, and noticed an FBI Anti-Piracy warning slathered all over the disc and case. It makes me feel all warm & fuzzy inside to know that I haven't illegally downloaded a song in well over 2 years - I trust the rest of you are behaving yourselves as well? I also picked up a copy of "The Gorge," the 6th Dave Matthews Band concert to be released on CD. This one, however, is different from all the rest:

To make THE GORGE even more special, the band called upon their official fan association, The Warehouse, to help create the track listing for this one-of-a-kind release.

As I have been a distinguished member of the Warehouse since 12/04/1998, I like to think that I played some small part in the making of this album - except I can't remember if I actually participated in the fan voting or not...

By the way, I fibbed when I said the previous post was to be the final one from Shelard Village - I have since commandeered Jeff's computer to blog while Susan takes a little nap between parties.

Today was a busy one - the balance of my belongings have been removed from the premises, and I'm now faced with a bit of an engineering dilemma in trying to cram all the important stuff in the car and still make room for our love fern. Between the morning and evening cleaning sessions, I had a croissantatic lunch in Eagan and visited with the Jan's.

Speaking of dilemmas, a well-lubricated Busta showed up at our going away party Thursday night armed with a bright idea - he accompanies me on the journey westward and helps out with the house in exchange for 1/2 the price of a plane ticket back to mini happiness ($175). It's been a solid 48 hours since he propositioned me, and I still can't make a decision - I hate that I'm so indecisive. I can count about the same number of pros and cons for his idea, but I think the bottom line is that I'm mentally ready to make this journey on my own.

From the bottom of my heart, I would also like to thank the 35 or so people (including Jason) who joined us at Town Hall on Thursday night. It's difficult to put into words how much it meant to Susan and I that all of you made time to come and say goodbye. The next couple of years are going to be tough no doubt, but hopefully some of you can make the trip out to visit at some point. We didn't buy a 3 bedroom house on accident, that's for sure :)
