    moving day

    The movers are moving me today. Most of my stuff are going to storage as my new place is not yet ready to be moved in. I am a little emotional because I am moving from my family home of 12 years and into a condo by myself. I will be living on my own first time in many years. I have always lived with family.

    The guys are not moving my kilts as they are coming with me to the place that I am staying.

    I HATE moving day!

    With that being said - Good Luck. I'm sure once the new place is ready and you are all moved in you're going to love it.

    Good Luck with the move, Raph. You will certainly notice the difference once you have settled into your new condo - after all, the Mahon Avenue house was rather large for you on your own. Are you going to continue living in Burnaby? Please be sure to let me have your new permanent address sometime - I'd hate to lose touch.

    All the Best, and

    Take care,
    Ham.

    Raph, I hope your move goes well. I remember moving out of the family home - it's stressful and emotional. I'm happy your kilts are going to be close by, and I hope your new place is ready soon. All the best!

    Best of luck my friend! And what could be better than a kilt night to ease the anxiety? The Dublin Crossing St. Pats weekend kicks off on Friday. I'll be there about 5:00. They have festivities running all weekend with the big show on Monday. Great music and pipers and dancers and Guinness, OH MY!! Friday is "Wear Your Kilt Night". Can you say FREE PINT? I'll keep an eye out for you.

    I am moving to Port Moody, and 5 minutes from Colin. I have lived in Burnaby for 12 years and I have heard plenty of good things about Port Moody from Colin.

    Once I settle in and I will send every one my permanent address. I will also say hi to Nathaniel for you. He still remembers you and Dave.

    He is right up the street from me now Hamish. The happy middle ground is the St. James Well Irish pub, where you, Dave W., Raphael and myself enjoyed a summer bevie.

    An avid mountain biker like Raphael will love Port Moody and the trails it has left

    We look forward to having him in the 'hood.

    I hear you. Have moved well over fifty times myself and never have liked it. But, if I hadn't moved never would have met my ex-wife and had the daughter and grandkids I have...

    Hope it works out well for you...and if it doesn't, move again. And, how bad could it be - its Canada!!

    I hope the move is into a place that will reflect your needs and wants.
    I HATE moving. The Air Force moved me more than I ever wanted to be moved in my life. I still wound up here in Boston. This house for twelve years, the apartment before was fourteen years, the room before that was twenty years. I will be moving only two more times. Sometime soon to the house that will last me through my retirement and then to the final resting spot.
    It is well to move your kilts with you. Many hire movers do a really lousy job when it comes to clothing. When your new home is completed, I hope that it will afford an economical way to live, with the efficiencies that are now being built into heating and cooling systems, and electrical systems.
    Good Luck and Good Cheer.
