Hi ya Beck, really diggin the new avatar pic thingymajigger ya got there.  
Well, the new place is still frigging uglier than nuns doing sinful things in the back of the nave, but it has improved somewhat. Still lots of work for Tuba and the interior designers.  
I’ll check back in a couple weeks and see whats new and improved or new and “improved”

Still not here yet, but I hope to be tomorrow - or by, say, Monday at the latest, I think.

Reminds me of a joke Be Here Now author Ram Dass once told, about writing a postcard: “The weather is beautiful. Wish I were here!”

I think it was E.B. White who would send postcards to friends, “Scenery is here; wish you were beautiful.”
