Well, I know everything is OK now because I actually got some sleep last night. The move is 99.9% complete. Got 9 computers running on one circuit in my dining room on our new DSL line with no blown fuses and a minimum of errors. My muscles are sore, my mind is clearing up, and my dining room is a mess.

Our new address: The Mudcat Café, PO Box 3006, West Chester, PA 19381

The move was tough, cause I didn't have enough help. Without Emily, I would have been toast, and may likely be dead by now, or in a sanitarium wearing Kleenex boxes for shoes. Elf Greg-with-a-pickup-truck was essential too. Thanks guys.

The move was tough, cause its the end of another era for me. I loved that office. Those who visited me here know that it was a great place, great view, great location, it was home to the Mudcat for almost 3 years.

The move was tough, cause I had a lot of fun there, professionally, and personally. A lot of great times and memories, and a lot of bad. I left my wife right around the time we moved in. Went through a lot of pain that first year, hiding in my office wishing there was a better way, wondering if what I was doing was right. I met Emily right below the window of my office on the sidewalk cafe of the Brewery below. She came up to the studio that night, with all my best friends in town, and listened to us sing and play deep into the night, and deep into a drunken fervor. The fact that my behavior did not scare her away, that very night I met her, still amazes me.

The move was tough, cause I should have done it months ago. I had trouble letting go, and it took me a little deeper than I needed to go. I seem to do that a lot.

The move was tough, but its over now, and office was just a place. The Mudcat is really in my heart… and my dining room.
