  • How Quickly Old Age Comes On

    It's done. Or close enough. I've emptied every packing box (except the books which must wait until I figure out shelving). I've put everything in its place. No pictures are hung, but that's the fun part – figuring out which... Read More...

  • Muddling Through

    I am amazed, touched, overwhelmed, pleased and feeling a little abashed by all your good wishes, advice, enthusiasm and blessings throughout this move from Portland east to Portland west. Beginning with the post on 8 February about my intention to......

  • Tiptoeing into a New Life

    No matter how well you plan, how much you organize and how many lists you make, something always goes wrong. I had expected that my stuff would be here in Lake Oswego by today, but it won't arrive until Monday.... Read More...

  • On to Oregon

    The closing in Maine went without a hitch yesterday. These days, you don't get to feel rich even for a few minutes holding a big, fat check in your hands; the funds were immediately wired to Oregon to pay for... Read More...

  • Out of Time and Place

    It is almost done, this cross-country move from Portland to Portland. At about noon today, two real estate agents, a title company official, the buyers and I will meet to sign a lot of legal documents that will transfer ownership... Read More...
