Hi, my LiveJournal! I'm back! Somewhat.
As a long delayed response to RH's question, what I mostly did to prepare for taking the kitties cross country was fret. The hands were wrung. Then, when I went to Petsmart for other stuff, I found a $30 spray. It apparently worked. The cats traveled with my father, and he said they were surprisingly good. So, it has the Nina Farina stamp of approval, if you find yourself facing down a long road trip with a felinic element.
My neighborhood is unbelievable. A number of new or restored museums, the St. Paul public library, the Grand Old Miss, and some jewel-like little parks, all within a 15-minute walk. Big tall buildings where hopefully I can find work loom just behind the recreational buildings, and yet, amazingly, the blocks in my immediate vicinity are quiet and extremely safe.
And if you're going to move to Minnesota, do it in May. A good five months before The Evilness begins.
So anyway. Hi to all who care! The rest can suck it. They know who they are.
