The End of an Era : Bro flies the coop!

The time has come:

After 15 months of happy co-habitation in "His 'n Her Condos", Bro has decided that it's time for him to stretch his wings, and move out into his own nest.

That's right: Christopher is leaving the building.

Crazy, man.

As he likes to point out, He's lived here with Dick and me during our entire married life together. Ha!

But do not fret: he's not moving too far away. Remember, before living with us, he was in Australia, and in Marin before that :)

Bro is moving to a lovely pad downtown. A short Muni ride away.

The movers are scheduled to come at 8:00 this morning to pick up all of his stuff. (Which included several boxes that he's had in our basement for the past 5+ years!)

I woke up yesterday morning, realizing that he was moving out today. It's pretty surreal.

The funny thing is, originally, when he came home from Australia, he was only planning on staying with us for 1 week! After the first week, Dick and I realized that we actually really enjoyed having him here, and offered that he could stay here indefinitely. And, even then, who knew we'd have so much fun?

I'll be the first to admit that it's going to be a bit wierd not to have him here on a daily basis. Never fear, though. We've already planned to have him come back to visit often!

Bye, Bro!

So Long, and Thanks for all the Fish!
