A long freakin’ drive

The same distance in another direction and I'd have been on another continent.

I am safe in Bend, Oregon now, writing this from a hotel room. I’ve not updated lately, but this is the big news. I got a real life job at the newspaper in Bend, the Bulletin. (Forgive their website, it kind of is not good.) I’ll be designing and copy editing pages.

The trip took a while. Michelle and I left on Friday at 3 p.m. Indiana time and arrived in Bend Sunday at 7 a.m. Indiana time, which is 5 a.m. Bend time. For the record, I don’t remember Illinois at all, Iowa sucks, Nebraska sucks worse, Wyoming is a lot bigger than it looks on a map, Utah is OK, and Eastern Oregon is desolate. Bend is really nice though. We likes it.

I have lots to do, so I won’t bore you with the details. Eventually I’ll have all new contact information so be watching for that. I start work tomorrow and move into a new apartment on Friday. Then, it’s all details. Wish me luck.

So here’s how it is

This is the first in what I hope will be an increase in posting for me. It’s been a hell of a semester, but I made it through. I finished everything, even my thesis, and managed to graduate with honors. Oh, and I have a job. I’ll be moving in a couple of weeks. Where, you ask? A long way from here. Really long. Actually, if it were any farther, I’d be in another country. Or an ocean. Either way, it’s not close. I think it will be awesome. More to come.
