Already Friday?!?
What happened to this week?
No, seriously. Where did it go. Yesterday, it was Monday! Now it’s already Friday and I’ll be going in to work for the last time!
Last night, we had some severe storms move through and I temporarily lost power at the apartment. I can’t recall the last time I lost power…one of the advantages of renting an apartment within a couple of blocks of a major hospital! The dogs were definitely glad to see me when I got home last night, though I suspect they took advantage of the dark to sleep. Dogs tend to get far less stressed out by the little things than we do.
One of the traditions on one’s last day — at least at the stations where I’ve worked — is to send a station-wide email saying goodbye and keep in touch. I’ve been mulling such a message and I’m sure I’ll come up with something decent. I will miss the folks I’ve worked with, and there are lots of things I’ll miss in Richmond.
I am looking forward to getting closer to home, though, and I already know that the new job will keep me in the presence of good, talented people.
In any case, since I’ve fallen drastically behind schedule when it comes to packing, my posting will be a bit sparse over the next week. There’ll still be a “Saturday Six” and “Sunday Seven” over at the Weekender. And next weekend’s shouldn’t be a problem, either.
Once I’m settled in the new place, I’ll be back with more regular posting, and I’ll update here and there when I can next week.
Wish me luck!

Good luck wishes being sent your way, Patrick. And last days are always tough, even in places that we’re thrilled to be leaving.

Ahhhh Friday! I thought it would never get here because Hannah is/was coming home Saturday.
