I'm sitting in the living room of my apartment in Belfast, Maine, getting ready to move on from what has been a very rewarding interim ministry with the UU congregation here. The movers are coming tomorrow. Then, the next day begins a trip to Colorado, where I'll start another interim with the Columbine contregation in Littleton, just outside Denver. Chris from this congregation has old college friends in Colorado, so she said she'd share the drive with me. What a blessing!
The packing is almost complete. I keep resisting the temptation to put one more thing in the car. It's pretty full, but I'm determined not to present the classic picture moving -- loaded to the gunwales and no way to see out the rear view mirror. I bought a much too expensive Yakima bike rack so my ancient bike can travel in style (and not destroy the plastic parts on the back of the Subaru). Even though its cost would go a significant way to buying a new bike, I'd still want a rack to carry the new one, right? And I just this minute figured out what to do to keep from having to balance my grandmother's big old basket on the back seat -- yes! it can be packed safely and taken by the movers! Only a few challenges remain. Most can be solved by the church yard sale, Goodwill, or the dump!
Fortunately, it's misty and gray this morning, perfect for working, limited temptation to stroll by the bay -- Iguess that's a good thing...
