Bringing it on...

So, I inch closer to the move to Portland. Things are being boxed, other things cleaned and organized. And above all this, crazy apprehension. Now I've done this sort of thing before, with far less money. But I admit I'm bristling with the same confidence I had then. I'm not quite sure why that is. I could guess it's the fact I could piss away my savings. Maybe it's the fact I have such awesome friends here in Phoenix and in Santa Fe.

To be honest with the crowd here, I'd probably move back to Santa Fe before moving back to Phoenix. I liked my job enough there, have the friends, it's far more liberal and, although I don't define myself as such, if society labels me I might as well be with those on the same side, eh?

But that is failure-talk. I will move to Portland, I will find work and a place to live and I will be on top of the world yet again. Here is a somber picture to show my determination...



Yes, you can see it, can't you?

Also, here's the crazy part; Everything points to me riding my new Vespa up there. I will take like 5-6 days, I think. If I cover 350 miles a day it's 4 days away. A dawdle!
