You know, the nearer your destination...

...the more your slip sliding away... and I'm happy for it.

These are the last 50 minutes of work left here at The Castilian. I'm very glad to be going and of course I've met some pretty great people here and listen if they could work with me and tolerate me then they have to great. A few of the RA's waited for me to come in last night and they had a cake and some cards and parting gifts and it was nice of them. I said my farewells and we each went on to our lives and it just makes the leaving all that more satisfying. So today i grab my vehicle, get to packing it all up, toss out my furniture, and clean the hell out of that apartment. Nothing much else to report, not much more on my mind than the immediate future and I can't even think about the Mets about to blow their damn season to the Phillies. You Mets better pull it together for the next few days because Lord knows the Phillies ain't slowing down for nothing. I'm gonna go about my business and hope for the best, anyway, I'm way the hell down here in the south and I don't have cable so I'll be out of the loop until I pick up a paper every morning or watch some hotel news at night, which I'll do with dread.
I'll be on the road for the next 4-5 days trying to stay awake!
Oh yeah, "so long Texas and thanks for all the fish!"

oh yeah, to my brother seven red in Chicago--> 9/27/07: Happy Birthday, I love that flick of my niece and her goy-goy...Don't lose hope yet, keep the faith!!!! Second choice--Colorado Rockies!
