Canadians?

Ha-Doug. Hooray Montreal!

Just got back from a pre-move Ann Arbor trip....final analysis...Hooray Beer!

My new favorite baseball columnist

Just saw this on a blog post by Chris Calcaterra of NBC Sports' Circling the Bases:

Tigers 9, Indians 8: The Tigers had no business winning this game. They trailed by four heading into their half of the eighth and they stranded eighteen (18) runners, but with the Indians' bullpen all things are possible. In this case, a bases loaded walk and then a wild pitch by Chris Perez is what was possible. Gerald Laird snapped his 0-17 to start the season, which if it had happened in Boston the city would be on lockdown. Justin Verlander said this after the game: "The Indians have a great team, and you have to make good pitches to get them out." Justin. We are men of action. Lies do not become us.


Well done, Chris.  Well done.

What the?????

So I'm posting two posts in a row...Strange?

Well not as strange as this...I'm moving to Ann Arbor Michigan in May.

Aside from the nice alliteration of that phrase I know that this will probably stir up quite a ruckus like the mention of my dog Harry. To give as much info as possible I'm also posting my note I wrote on Facebook.

And yes I will be helping to build lasers. Or at least cheering on engineers that can. =) And now...the Facebook Note:

Yep, this is not a joke. Adin is actually moving to Michigan.

Adin is seeking to finally upgrade to the level of "Business-Adin" which had first been identified as a legitimate job title whilst stroling across the D.C. mall having a heady conversation with Dan Mazzucco, Josh Papsdorf and a few others.

And by what means will this happen you might ask? Well...by building lasers of course.

And how did this happen you might ask? A former collegue got the idea that the laser building team he was on needed an Adin and so threw out the idea to the rest of his team. A resume and two interviews later Adin was offered a job.

What's the timetable? Adin is scheduled to leave Kauai on the night of May 9th. Not much time peeps...she is sorry. She will also be on the mainland from April 15-27th.

Best ways to connect with Adin before she leaves. 1) Come eat dinner at Kalaheo Cafe...she will be working there often. 2) Come to "Adin needs to get Rid of Stuff" Open House (?) She plans on showcasing everything she can't take with her to MI. Come talk story, take stuff, leave a donation. Will be at Dida and Megan's house April 29th-31st (tentatively).

She also get plans to come back visit in Sept...so no totally stress ok?

Also, Adin has to sell her car ($1500), guitar ($250), recliner ($30), wine chiller ($20). Message her if you or someone you know might be interested.

Finally...why is Adin writing in the third person? Not sure...but it's kinda funny and helps to deflect being sad about leaving so many great friends and family.

Thanks for reading. Glad you're on my journey.

Adin =)
