New Chapter

Nearly four years ago, it was time for a change. So after nineteen years in the San Francisco Bay Area, I transferred my life to small town Chico. Steven and Mojo welcomed me into their home. Steven was a great roommate. Mojo was a brat. That feline never left me alone. Damn, I miss him. See, Steven relocated to live with his girlfriend in Texas. He handed Mojo over to a relative, so Mojo and I said "goodbye." I love that he's waving at the camera here!
Tomorrow, I'll finish my move. I'm relocating across town. My new place is much more spacious. It's been stressful, but George is around to lift my spirits and lend a hand. [Yeah, we're still dating, five weeks and counting.]

"So you're going to work in the blog-oh-sphere?" George often asks, with extra emphasis on the "oh". He tells me he doesn't know how the blog-oh-sphere thing works, and that perhaps I'll show him sometime. "Sure, I'll show you the blog-oh-sphere sometime," I tell George.

In the meantime, since George isn't curious enough to have found my blog, I'm going to post some photos of him.
Here's George driving to Lake Tahoe - this gorgeous body of water bordering California and Nevada.
We traveled to Tahoe over Thanksgiving weekend, and there was snow. So we stayed warm by drinking coffee...

and eating and eating and eating and...
doing other things.
You weren't expecting pictures of the other things. Were you?

Well, my friends, I best get rest.

Be well. Stay warm.
Keep a smile, and I'll be back when I'm settled in at my new home.

    Happiness and luck on your new crosstown digs. We spent a year in Chico, 1970, and found it friendly and full of wonderful places to take walks (Bidwell Park, etc.)but not generous with employment back then. That's doubtless changed as the town grew. Lived on Laburnum St. and not much was built up beyond that. Best wishes.

    I'm so glad you're staying in Chico with Georgie, who's got a nice cuddly clasp. Your hand is much prettier, of course! ;)

    Woot Woot!! Now I can track you and George down by doing some major investigative work…nah, sounds like too much work for the likes of me. I'm so glad you and your squeeze are still an item. Go You!!

    Best of luck with your move and hugs to Mojo in his neck of the woods.

    Hahahaha. A face shot might've been nice. Would that have been oversharing?

    I'm so happy that you've met someone whose company you enjoy. Maybe, just maybe, he's "the one." Please tell me I didn't jinx anything by writing that down...

    I thank you for not sharing the photos of the "other" things. The hand photo is cute. It's a good thing you don't have "man hands" or George would be outta there! (Or was that Seinfeld? It's been a while since I've seen that episode.)

    Good luck with the rest of your move!

    So much awesomeness in one post, and so much to be happy about. But hey, until you post more than just two hands per picture I'm not gonna be convinced of George's authenticity! You could just be pulling one of these over on us!

    The fake hand selfie

    (I kid. I wish you much happiness in this new location!)

    Thank you, dear Pat.

    Geo, I didn't know you lived here. Yeah, not much has changed in terms of the employment scene.

    Pickleope, yes, the term "medical marijuana" is used rather loosely around here too.

    Yes, Pat, it's almost my record.

    I appreciate you all and thanks for your patience. I'll be making rounds soon. Getting settled in and all...Robin, I do well to jinx my own situations, no worries.

    BnB, LOVE the link of the deceitful selfie.

    Al, Al, Al, what did I miss? miss? miss? Julie made a funny that I didn't pick up on?

    Mitchell, I'm not sure. It's possible. I always thought cousin It was a bit creepy, but a fine actor.

    Stay warm and safe, friends. xo

    Hey Robyn,

    As you might recall, I have been to Chico. I was a bit sad because they didn't have a parade for me.

    I've been to Lake Tahoe and I love it. I also found at that Bonanza was filmed nearby.

    Wishing you a wonderful adventure in your moving experience. I know I'm still trying to adjust to my new life on so many levels.

    Take care, dear Robyn.
