Packing Day

I had my final visit with Dr. Seipel here in AZ today and he said that the knee looks good and we are cleared to hit the road. And he gave me another nice Vicodin prescription just in case.

Part of Beth's job package includes full service moving, including packing...beautiful! I hate moving, which I know is strange since I manage to do it so much. But I absolutely hate it and it always stresses me out. Well, not this time! The packers are here as I type this and they are great. It's three guys doing a very meticulous and solid job of packing up all of our junk. Two of them will also be driving the truck to Little Rock, and it sounds like right now they plan to leave sometime on Tuesday afternoon or evening, which means that Dad and I will probably be getting on the road at the same time. We're just playing it by ear right now but it looks like everything could get packed today and we might end up at a Chandler hotel for the night. Tomorrow, Dad picks up the tow dolly from uHaul so we can tow the Focus behind Gus. That should work fine.

The Red Sox won their annual Patriots Day game today, which has an early start due to the Boston Marathon. It sure is weird having a game start at 8 AM local time though. I think I went to a Patriots Day game at Fenway against the Blue Jays back in '82 or '83. Okay, clearly I'm rambling now. I'll post another update soon.
