This post is overdue, but as a shout-out to friends to whom I've not yet emailed, I've made it to eastern Canada, even if my belongings have not -- yet.
It has been a long journey, from a touching series of farewells in Saint Louis, though the ~1800 mile drive that touched 11 states and 2 provinces.
Though not completely 'settled in' just yet, I am definitely spooling up: I've been at the new gig for over a week now.
Because of the job search and subsequent move, there is a fairly large backlog of ideas for blog posts. We'll see how far I get, but I suspect the next post will be a public service to a distinct niche audience: detailing the aspects of an international move. I'll post some of the facts that I wish I had known when I started.
