He's off

--in the rain. It started raining at about 6:45 this morning, but the heaviest showers had passed by the time D. needed to put the last few things in the car. One observation: it is a lot easier to move across the country when you 1) have a completely furnished house and kitchen to move into, and 2) travel by car and not by airplane.

I managed to stash a medium-sized box of groceries in the car, which he isn't supposed to open until he gets there, so maybe he will have something to eat the first night and not have to go to the grocery store. This reminds me--I wish I had made my kids learn how to cook a bit more than I did. They all know how to clean bathrooms and vacuum and things like that, but I don't think any of them know much about cooking.

So, now it is just me and G. and the cat.
