This will be a very brief post.
The last day in Salem turned out to be just as I thought it would: filled with lots of good wishes from friends and colleagues, mixed in with a last minute trip to the vet to get Jiggs a cortisone shot and a health certificate, and the usual packing decisions.
As always, it all worked out well. I disconnected my internet Tuesday afternoon. I am currently pirating an unsecured line. I need to be fast.
The plan was to get on the road by 3 or 4 AM on Wednesday to drive over to Bend to pick up my brother. But I did not get to bed until after midnight. More likely the departure time will be around 8 when we leave.
But the day is here. And we intend to make this trip as leisurely as possible.
More to come -- you can count on it.
