I've been a writer for more than 20 years. I've been a newspaper reporter, editor and publisher. I'm the editor of a cookbook. I'm the author of two books. I've written a weekly newspaper column for many years. But I've never had a blog. I do now, which you know if you're reading this. This is good. We're all on the same page – or blog, I guess.
On March 11, my wife, Amy, and I – along with our dog, Sadie – are moving from Northeast Tennessee to Lafayette, La., where people believe crawfish is a diet staple. I think it's something that lives in a creek and should stay there, but to each his own, you know?
For those of you who have followed my weekly column in The Erwin Record, I invite you to follow me here now, where I'll detail how life shapes up for his in Lafayette.
Oh Mark, even in the face of chaos you manage to find a sense of humor. Methinks you may be trying to do too much too soon. Take some walks, some lunches out, it will get done in time. I can't believe you got that many service people to your new house in such a short time. Hang in there. It will get better.
ReplyDeleteOh Pooh, hooked the comment to the wrong post. This is in response to Oh, Pooh! Oh, Dear!.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry. It was only a temporary breakdown. I'm glad you saw the sense of humor in it. After I wrote it, I thought it might seem too depressing, but I really did want it to be funny.
ReplyDeleteI've been reading your story and laughing. Best story yet. Yes movers pack everything. I moved 12 times as a military wife and we always hid our luggage in the shower stall to keep them from packing it. Your next move will be better. LOL
ReplyDeleteBest of luck to you and Amy in your new home.
