It’s
\n moving day, for better or worse. Already emotional and physical wrecks
\n over the preliminaries, today we are supposed to
\n get the bulk of our stuff out of 396 Salem St. in Malden just a few block
\n down from Malden High School, and into an empty room graciously lent
\n by a friend and neighbor even closer to the school, until we return from
\n Ecuador and find a new place to live. The
\n 14-foot U-Haul promised for yesterday never appeared, so we
\n are hoping
\n they make
\n good
\n on our
\n "guaranteed"
\n reservation
\n and fix us up this morning.<\/p>\n
By the time we get on the flight to the conference Tuesday afternoon
\n we should be a blubbering, blabbering bruise, but at that point it will
\n be too late to do anything but husband our resources and try to muster
\n the energy to give decent presentations Wednesday and Friday. Oy vey,
\n we’re getting too old for this.<\/p>\n
Kitty lovers, keep your fingers crossed and say a prayer, because our
\n supposed cat savior is expected to stop by at one to meet the little
\n critters, and if all goes well, take them to a better place.<\/p>\n
Of course, the Dowbrigade, habitually broke and with the cultured cheapness
\n of an unrepentant academic, eschews professional movers, preferring to
\n bite the bullet and carry out the move ourself. Anyone who is at loose
\n ends, feels like lending a hand, or just wants to see
\n what
\n kind
