Packing's finished and I'm leaving for Dallas on Friday. Considered picking up a USB wireless adapter to attempt to surf off a nearby wireless point to cover the gap, but it seems silly to spend the money for only a couple of days. So I'll just be incommunicado until then (or maybe not, depending on what the internet use policy is at the new job. Ain't TOO restrictive, given the friend of mine that's there, but on the other hand he's an experienced IT hand, so there's no telling what line they make the grunts toe, huh? ;p)

There's just a little stress associated with the move. I've lived in Houston all my life, so I'm pretty familiar with it; I know the neighborhoods that I shouldn't go into, the out-of-the-way comic shops, the good Lebanese restaurant off Hillcroft, where the traffic bunches up on all the freeways. I'd be hard-pressed to identify the interstates going through Dallas without a map. I'll have to go hunting for everything - and while some things won't be a problem (friends in the city), some things I'll have to find for myself (nearest grocery store, the gas stations, some place to get buffalo wings).

Ironically, I found Half Price Books even before I took the job - passed it going to lunch during the interview. Well, there's one less thing to worry about!

At any rate, here's hoping for good weather and an easy drive, and that I can get the PC together, find some sort of service for HD now that I've got this new LCD, and get situated without anything going too severely wrong. See y'all next Thursday, if'n not before.

1 Best of luck. Don't strain anything with all the lifting.
