I’m In!

February 20, 2008 | Filed Under Main |

Spent my first night in the apartment yesterday.

I want to thank the folks at the Mövenpick Hotel for taking care of me this past month. Now – I am a bachelor. Even drove in to work this morning and it took about 35 minutes WITH traffic. The apartment is nice. Furnished, too. But it will need some work. At the moment it is very… cold. The floors are tile. The walls are white and bare. All the lighting is overhead. And there is no cable or internet. Yet. And yes – my first meal in the apartment was peanut butter and jelly. But I had to work late and then unpack and set up the bed and the bathroom, etc. That was enough to do. I didn’t want to try and figure out the propane stove as well.

But at least I’m here. Now all I need is a store to purchase some big posters and I can have the place looking like a college dorm room in no time! Hell, there’s already a Domino’s Pizza place on the corner…

    Did you know that milk crates and plastic garbage bags can make a lovely planter?

    Glad to hear that you have landed in a regular place and that you have survived driving.

    What do you need in a Care package that Ellen and I can put together? Though six years away, we can use the practice for when Wes heads off to college.

    Finally got the chance to peruse the Kuwait Times. Seems to be very similar to most of the rest of the press in the world outside the US, save that the bylines are at the ends of stories. Makes it a little tough to do a quick spin through a story, but also forces you to do a little more reading of the story, scrolling to the bottom of the story to get the source.
