48 hours and counting

Hello, and welcome to my blog. I will be updating on a semi-regular basis, occasionally lumping several days' entries into a single post.

I am currently sitting on a folding chair in the living room of my apartment in Mt. Pleasant, Washington, DC, as I write this. I am surrounded by debris, boxes full of stuff, organized and not so organized. I have a plastic bag from Pollo Sabroso around the corner with my usual - 1/4 chicken, white meat, side of fried yucca and a small salad. The price of this bachelor's special recently went up from an affordable $5.25 to just shy of the seven-dollar mark thanks to a premium for the white meat and a sudden market increase in yucca futures.

After my brief lunch, I will furiously pack a few more boxes, then head off to Silver Spring to see a couple of friends before my Friday afternoon departure.

Food's getting cold. Check in from time to time.
