Quick update:
1. Drive across the country - survived. (With only one minor instance of gastrointestinal drama. Given the copious shit I've eaten over the last two weeks that, gentle readers, is a motherfucking big time win.) But really, the drive was more than survived - it was relished. My dad and I saw the Badlands and Mount Rushmore and generally had a blast.
2. Unpacking went well. Shit is put away. Apartment is cleaned. New shit is bought. Apartment is roomier than previously thought (seriously - there was a whole extra ROOM I forgot about.) Cable (and internets!) are restored. Everyone even got along pretty well, except for a few minutes of back seat driving from my dad.
3. My colleagues rock. The dept chair took me and my dad out on the Missouri River. Tonight, there's a cookout. How cool is that?
4. People are fucking NICE out here.
5. My neighbor is a ceramics artist from Georgia. His workshop is covered in license plates. He says "fuck" a lot. How can I have anything but unabashed love for him?
6. In the process of opening bank accounts and getting various forms filled out at the new job. I have seen my office, and I approve. Next week I will start work on setting that up (as well as writing lesson plans - eep!).
7. I miss the holy living fuck out of my wife. But we talk a lot via the power of Sprint, and in 26 days we'll see each other.
8. Speaking of: Sprint - go ahead and suck my knob. I've been getting repeat text messages from my wife for a week now and you STILL can't fix this shit. Fuck off and die, fuckers.
9. It's really, really stupidly pretty here.
10. Hey look, number ten! There will be pictures in the future. But things are good. I need a beer. And a run. The run can wait till tomorrow though. I might go to mass tomorrow too. We'll see.

Glad you are getting settled. The new razor will take some getting used to. A few nicks and its a bit more razor-burny, but I think that will pass as I get more comfortable with it. Looking forward to saving lots of money on blades.

Sounds like things are great! (other than missing the wife of course). I'm glad things are going so well.
