Hey, Sean here. Sorry I haven't been around much. You guys wouldn't believe the crap going on concerning our move. First off, we found out two days ago that our cars might not get here until the 11th. Keep in mind that both our cars and the household goods were supposed to be here by the 7th. Now, to add insult to injury, Christine had to call the movers today since we hadn't heard anything yet. (If you consider that the last day of the moving window was supposed to be the day after Labor Day, you'd think that someone might call us before the weekend with an update) Anyway, since no one called us today, Christine got ahold of someone in the mover's Cleveland office. So matter-of-factly the woman says "Oh, I was just checking with my operations guys to see when they stuff is getting picked up." To which Christine replies, "Oh, you mean from the San Diego warehouse for delivery to our new place?" (And then the woman delivers the punchline) "No, I mean picked up from the warehouse here in Cleveland."
Ha! I'm still laughing. I don't think they're going to make that window now, do you? Nah, me neither.
I'm going to try and start posting more often so I'm not bothering my great friends any longer for their writing skills. You guys have been great. Needless to say, I won't have a home computer until God knows when. Managed to catch a little bit of Dear Leader's speech last night. Not really impressed. Loved Ralph Reed's post-speech analysis. What a joke. I really want to hear Bush pronounce "Social Security" one more time though. Having no home computer sucks, I feel so far out of the loop. (I'm in a cyber cafe at our apartment complex right now. I actually have a 15 minute time limit.) Anyway, to my blogging buddies, thanks for helping out. Hopefully I'll be able to start regular posting againg soon. Have a good weekend.

Sorry you're having to deal with the screw-up, but it does make a good story.
Thanks for the opportunity to guest blog. It was fun! If I ever need a team to fill in for me, I know who I'm going to ask.

I've had real movers for just one move in my life. It was a clusterfuck -- truck breakdowns, slow delivery. Nothing was broken, tho. And, when you step back and think it over, it's still 10 times better than doing it yourself.
I hope you're having fun out there when you can. I look forward to your blogvoice returning.
