10/06 What I'll miss

What I'll miss about Wisconsin (Part 1):

The beautiful geese that are everywhere. Two days ago there were 20 in my driveway. Yesterday there were 30 and today there were 40. Exactly. Don't know how they travel in multiples of tens, but that's the way it appears.

What I won't miss about Wisconsin (Part 1):

Goose shit.

Alive. They're all over the place. Lately it's been eating near and on our driveway.

Kellie, yes, I'll miss Wisconsin. It's beautiful. I've been here for 10 years--five years times two.

Whenever you miss the geese, you can hang out at Todd's parents house. They have geese galore on their lake and there's always plenty of goose poop to go with it. Just like home!

Thanks, Anne. I know you've been talking about moving for a while. Made a decision yet?

Thanks, Kelly. If I could have the geese, without the poop, that would be ideal. :)

no decision other than realizing i will have to say no to a new contract in order to have time to figure things out. and of course some relatives think no contract and no job is a bad idea! :D
