Charlie Crist will make Oct 26 an official state holiday
Not that this affects most of you, but as things currently stand, October 26 will be my last day working in Miami. I will be sidling over to Houston to set up shop and maybe shell out $120/year to join the Houston Chess Club. (As a point of comparison, the national chess federation costs me $41/year. To be fair, the HCC looks to be VERY active, with events 5 days a week.)
Before then, I need to take care of 4 major things:
- Finish a webpage (which will hopefully look better than this one)
- Finish a program
- Pack
- Get a place to live
Which will leave little time for diversion, in theory.
Fortunately, being single and having relatively few possessions will make the move easy. In fact, I should be light enough to try to fit everything in my car. I’ve been throwing out a lot of junk, so far on my 10th Aldi bag. While cognizant of the value of big black bags, I get to use those grocery store-type bags saved up all this time, and now they come into their full glory. (I’ve never been to an Aldi store, by the way; bonus points to the person who knows what I’m referencing when mentioning their bags–yes, it’s obscure.)
By the way: Charlie Crist is the governor of Florida, and dubs himself “The People’s Governor”. It’s really sad that he had to rip off the Rock for his political slogan.
