Brita and I drove down today (eight and half hours with one stop, at one point averaging 28 mpg, no traffic except for accident slowdown about 60 miles north of Baltimore) and found parking on my street, found our parking pass in the kitchen, moved my things to an empty bedroom (which is not mine, but we'll switch things around soon) and I am here.
I have a job at a nonprofit called Microfinance Opportunities (microfinanceopportunities.org) which is mostly administrative, but it should be interesting nonetheless. I have a metro pass. I have full bookshelves, a camera, and infinite curiosity.
Feels like a very good beginning.

A very good beginning indeed!
