I made the move west. I’m now in Wyoming. I’m going to keep blogging and posting pictures over at my web site: http://www.jackieborchardt.com I moved this blog over to that site, so all your comments are preserved. Thanks for reading!
I’m gone, up in Illinois now and already procrastinating all the cleaning/sorting/packing that needs to be done. Most of my stuff was packed by Friday so I could fully enjoy my last day. It started with one last run in Audubon Park and smoothies from my smoothie lady at Smoothie King. Then it was a [...]
Three: I will miss… slower pace of life. New Orleans was the best and worst place to live while completing what became a 218-page master’s project. Since my schedule was flexible, it was easy to go with the flow of others (which were also very flexible.) No one stares you down if you’re five minutes [...]

I’m avoiding the word plan for now. Plans carry the expectation of being definite, dependable, secure. I don’t have much of that right now, but this is what I know.
