I’ve Arrived

Just letting everybody know I’ve arrived safely in Boston. I’m slowly getting my stuff unloaded and unpacked, and I’ve got four job interviews this week. Hopefully by next week I will have settled into some sort of daily routine.

I think I’m off to a good start… Yesterday morning, while waiting at Kenmore Square for an outbound C train, I caught a glimpse of one of the new low-floor LRV’s on the inbound D line. Hopefully soon I’ll have a chance to actually ride one.

Special thanks to all those who had me in their thoughts while I was on the road.

The Time Has Come

All my worldly possessions have been stuffed into the cardboard boxes stacked all around me. After I post this message, I will shut down my computer and pack it up as well. First thing tomorrow morning I will load up my rented U-Haul truck, and after saying goodbye to some very close friends, I will head off to my new life in Boston. This is the last you will hear of me until I arrive, probably sometime Sunday night.

It breaks my heart to have to leave my adopted hometown of Chicago, and quite frankly, I’m scared shitless of what I may be getting myself into in Boston. This is one of the most difficult choices I’ve ever had to make, but I’m confident that I’m doing the right thing. Hopefully someday soon I’ll find my way back home.

I’ll be driving all day tomorrow and Sunday… Please keep me in your prayers as I embark on this journey.

It’s Official: Moving to Boston

Barring any unforeseen disasters, I’ll be moving to Boston the weekend of May 27th. The studio apartment on Commonwealth Avenue that I mentioned in an earlier posting didn’t work out, but I found a group of roommates not far away with a room for rent. The apartment actually sits just on the Boston side of the city limits between Boston and Brookline, although the mailing address is officially Brookline. Although I won’t be able to look out my window and see Green Line LRV’s passing by, it’s actually somewhat better of a location transit-wise; the apartment is about equidistant to either the B or C Green Lines (no more than a 5-10 minute walk to either), and not far from the D line as well.

Wish me luck…
