It’s 6:10 PM on Friday evening. I’ve been following Kim’s flight from Switzerland (through London) and it has just arrived in Bermuda. With a bit of luck through customs and immigration she ought to be here in about 45 minutes. It’s an odd feeling thinking about how the three of us have been scattered around the world this past week. Michael Anne in the middle of the U.S., Kim in the middle of Europe, and I in the middle of the Atlantic. It’ll be very good to have Kim home.

It’s been an interesting week. All of our goods are now in our new house, but I haven’t a clue where everything’s going to go. I pretty much started in the kitchen and after nearly filling all the cabinets realized I had no place to put food. So ….. Kim and I need to put our heads together to determine how to prioritize. The same goes with just about every other room in the house.

One of the things that have become apparent is that we had lots of built-ins in our house in Racine. Our Bermuda house has virtually none, so we’re left with piles of books, knick-knacks (fine art, according to Kim), dishes, glassware, etc., etc. I’m sure we’ll figure it all out, but I’m also sure it’ll mean buying more furniture. I think Kim will be up for that.

On the plus side, we got the Internet connection and the home network up and working. Also got one of the TV’s hooked up and working. That’s sort of temporary since I’ll need new wiring for the home theater speakers. Which I won’t install until we’re sure of room arrangements.

I also was able to get my driver's learner license today. Which means I can now take driving lessons, take my driver’s test, get my permanent license, and finally drive.

I’ll be in Chicago for part of next week, so give a call if you want. My U.S. cell phone number stays the same (262-909-2938).

Time to make a couple of martinis (it’s Friday night and that’s a ritual).

Cheers!
