Jeff & I are back in Seattle after a grueling 8 day marathon of moving... It will be interesting to see what Jeff's journal entry reads like, compared to mine ( Read more... )

I'll be heading to the aeropuerto to sit around for about 3 hrs, waiting for my flight to leave. I could go a little later, but I'd hate to make someone drop me off at Sea-Tac at midnight if they have to work in the morning ( Read more... )
