To be continued...

Not quite as hale and hearty as yesterday morning, but did manage to get most of a night's sleep.  Heat (by Maine standards) and humidity (by any standard) remain high.  Chaos of Elder Son departure continues, with today dedicated to shipping boxes to his new address, not "Next Day" because then he wouldn't be there yet...

A bit odd, that he will be able to claim he moved to San Francisco for the cool, dry weather...

We, as parent birds, are fluttering around with the usual concerned chirps and chups of any fledgling's departure from the nest.  Doesn't matter that he is 30 years old and has been out of the house for more than ten years.  We'll never see him again, the dark mean city streets will swallow him whole and not even spit out the bones, the Big One will open a fault line directly under his new apartment this weekend...

Damned good thing ellipses aren't rationed, ain't it.

This is a test. This is only a test...

The Orbital Mind-Control Laser appears to have malfunctioned slightly.  He should not have displayed any external symptoms.

Progress progresses

Well, shipped Elder Son's computer etc. off to San Fran this afternoon.  I guess that means he's gonna do it...
