Moving on up to the East Side...

Call me Jim Jefferson... I'm moving on up to the East Side... (of the 10 and upstairs to a second floor apartment). All things are go for June 1. The new apartment house has approved my application, my old apartment has accepted my "notice to vacate" and I am in moving mode. I made a significant donation to the Salvation Army and Goodwill (clothes and other stuff that is just taking up space) and have begun packing things up. Next on the agenda is a moving company... (for the tortuous 20 mile drive to the new digs), contacting cable services and electric company and officially changing my address (which I will communicate to you once the move is complete via email or telephone or some other electronic device). All very exciting stuff. I love it here in Chandler but my life is all about change and adventure so here we go into another chapter. I'm sure there will be some entertaining stories related to this latest move... (and just in case someone is looking for me, it's another step ahead. :).

I'll be working graduations this week at ASU. 16 hour days on Thursday and Friday, but at least I'll be inside this time. There are five or six different schools graduating each day which is why I'll be working all day. No worries. All donations to greens fee fund are gladly accepted. Bad news is that my friend Sue canceled her trip out here last week. I was really looking forward to showing her around, but she is involved in much drama back home, so once she handles what she has to handle, we'll discuss getting together either here or there. Good news is that sister Sheryl is in town, albeit for work, but we should be able to get together. Word is that the "Flat Stanley" project Uncle Jimmy put together was a great hit with the second graders back in Virginia. I had such a blast doing that for my niece Natalie and her class.

Happy Mother's Day to all my readers and their Moms... (even my own. Yes I did send flowers). Hope everyone had a wonderful day. I did, watching the Suns move to the Conference finals in basketball and the Celtics beating King James and his Cavs. Playing a lot of golf also... (what else is new?). Drama is at an all time low (bonus) and I'm down to 3 hosting events left before I retire from E&A. After a year and a half, I have decided not to renew my membership (financial and personal reasons). I have enjoyed my time in the club, but it's time for someone new to step up and keep it going. I have made some great friends and will continue "adventures" outside the club atmosphere. It also gives me back time to concentrate on a new venture that is only in the idea stage as of yet... (and gives me time to concentrate on projects that I have shelved for a while). More info will be forthcoming in future blogs... (you'll just have to wait and see). I'm assuming of course that you are still reading my blogs... (not a problem if you're not, I'm still going to write them). Well, back to the packing. Talk to you soon...
