As of last night everyone’s here. My friend Stephen Peront is visiting from Boston, and with his help we got the cat door installed and the cats moved. Thanks, Stephen!
Most of our furniture is still at the old place, but after we paint a few rooms we’ll finish up those details.

Hi Doug and Megan…
Thanks for the post - it was a blast spending time with both of you and the gumbo was awesome :)… The new place is sweet, now if only I can get my hands on a copy of the book, ha ha
The rain in downtown is nice today (ahh, as I sip my meisto at the 3rd starbucks I have stepped into today); it is great to have coffee every 20 steps :)…
It is great to have good friends on this coast too; can’t wait till ya’ll come visit us in Boston
Although, I wouldn’t mind meeting you in the islands for a long weekend (evil grin)… Don’t inhale too many paint fumes, chuckles 
Cheers,
-Stephen

yep, the cats and humans all live in the new place now, and the old place is the repository of “stuff not yet moved.”
Pictures from today will be posted in a few minutes …

Murgh looks like she is high on paint fumes for sure.
Congratulations you two, I can’t wait to see the place in person!

The way I had it figured is that movies are a very passive way to spend time, and you are not into being passive about time usage. You seem to want something to be done or progress to be made over any given unit of time. Since you have many goals, you’d rather spend the time at hand putting effort into achieving them than watching a movie while thinking of what you could have gotten done during those two hours.

Before I read the entry on Murg high on paint fumes, I had wondered about that!
WHO MADE GUMBO?! Ironically, your gran made some this past Saturday. Very good.
Also, she is telling me that I will NOT be taking any vacations on her dimes, but …is (herself) considering making a trip to Seattle in August OR just being sent to MS for a week where, get this, she said she will stay in a hotel and rent a car—alone. Huh. That granny.
Am posting pics of Teddy later today. He is still with us. Have taken him back to the park to see if any of his people are out looking for him or if he has any desire to return to former folds. No to both.
Still no response from either of you on what you may need or want for the new house.

Murg really is adorable—I had forgotten, so swayed was I by the brothers sweeping personalities.

Movies have never been a passive time passing for me. I’m an action watcher and the watching is a satisfactory enough goal. It seems to all be centered in the choosing of what I watch…feel badly when I watch a movie waste. I tend to really like murder and mayhem quite a bit…not gore necessarily, but….eventual killings and such. The underbelly of the human condition, so to speak. I have often wanted to kill myself. I don’t mean kill myself—but, kill.
I am sick, of course. No medical coverage or chance at psychological help other than the home therapies I sometimes inlist…sigh.
Tonite: Love in the Time of Cholera–on a Bardem tangent after the watching of Goya’s Ghost (s?) and No Country… ( I also tend to read a lot of historical novels—the black plague…that kind of thing)
Hi, Doug. Who is Tad, btw? Sounds cool.
How is LaVonne? am still hearing things about her MS visit: she showed crazy aunt Laura how to work some appliance she had??? What a world.
Hello, Megan. that this is my only means of contacting you—in your husband’s blog—is sad, don’t you think?
No?
Cool.
Gran sends her love, Andy wants to move now that Teddy has come. Got room?

Hey, Marsha… I also like movies with death and mayhem. Don’t know what it is. Things like The Road Warrior, Die Hard, Seven, Pulp Fiction, and the movie we were talking about: No Country for Old Men.
We’ve met more than once, but never really talked. If you saw me, you’d recognize me. “Oh, this guy! I remember this guy!”
Btw, I love your cooking!

Wait a minute, TVP!!! You are not by any chance the one at the Mahugh party who SO raised his eyebrows during an interview, are you??? Shortly after the , “Hi, I’m George Jetson..”comment? A sort of scary, but ultimately cool facial expression that exuded such wonder and a wee bit of menace? Hmmmm….kindred spirits, indeed. And, I must assume Resevoir Dogs is also one of your faves? The Usual Suspects?
Oh, Doug! hello (he he he). I can hear people saying, ” She’s using this blog like she would an e-mail!”
Hey, no one answers my e-mails.
Hi, Megan.
Hi, Tracy.
Hi, Moo. (lurker!! WHY won’t you speak, son?)
Hi, Lynnly ( so sorry about Lynda’s death. Did you go to the service or stay at work today?)
Ok, fairly well in the cups, so off to the movies or dreamland, lovies.
farewell (yeah, right. Like I won’t be back, eh?)
Doug…? Where are you, Hon?
TVP—so kind to mention my cooking! Such as it was….sigh. Is it true the Mahugh’s are not having any more parties? I mean, after all, this new house is THEIRS. Shouldn’t there be a celebration of some sort???? A pay- the- mortgage ho down, perhaps?
yes. well.
Hi, LaVonne!
Bye, Doug (h)

Aunt Marsha: Yes, yes, those are also favorite movies. You’ve got me down pat. The expression of wonder and menace sure sounds like me, but I don’t recall the George Jetson comment. I don’t know if Doug and Megan have put an end to all parties. Hope not.
