Some updates: Had a great final shutdown with the General. Got a lot of work done, as well as a lot of loafing. Got to hang out on the lake at Neal's place, and eat sushi homemade by Noriko. (She even made my favorite: Bacon and Asparagus Rolls). Had a great float down trip, with much sun and guitar playing and very little sleep. Magnus and Kathy's wedding in Traverse City was awesome, and almost ridiculously fitting for them. Went to Old Mariner's Church on Sunday to get blessed, met some interesting people and then ate brie fondue and asparagus bisque.
I have a tenative place to live in Traverse. Its actually a bit distant in the Torch Lake area, which would necessitate a half-hour or more drive daily, but its available to me cheaply and without reservation, which makes it a perfect backup plan. If I can get some more money or find something as cheap and closer then I may pursue it, but its no longer a matter of being homeless. And that's nice.
Announced my plans at work, and I'll admit to enjoying the doubletakes perhaps more than I should. August 12th is my last day which means I'll be working right up to the day before I leave. Which leads me to:
Very Delayed Housewarming / Going to Sea / Summer Why Not / 1 year anniversary of the death of Rick James Barbeque and Shindiggery
When: August 6th, 2005 Anytime after 3PM
Where: 400 Ashland, Detroit (email me for directions)
Who: You and your good for nothing friends
Why: Well, any of the reasons above. There'll probably be Guinness and grilled food products (some friendly to the vegetarian inclined) and general tomfoolery
I'll probably put this up on evite too, and bother some of you that way, and probably I'll forget some of your addresses and not bother you when I should have. Come anyway.
