Toot

status update: apologies for neglecting this space since late Oct. The excuse: we have moved across the pond (I misspelled it "pont", which (pontus, to be precise) is a Greek word for sea coast)) to the shore of Lake Michigan, to work at Northwestern University, in Greater Chicago.

Main reasons:

Needless to say, of the 1st 5 weeks, most of the time went into dealing with various bureaucracy (formsss!!! and yes, Social Security Numbers office misspelt my name on the card, and the university tax office put down our citizenships as UK (wrong), etc etc) and, hmm, hardware issues: while most of our possessions are making it over on a ship, I spent time getting and assembling the minimal furniture (yes, we actually bought a house, as rental options are somewhat miserable here), fixing heating (the company who did it needed 10 days, including 5 preliminary visits and aborted attempts).

And new school and doctors for the kid, health insurance, bicycle tire punctures, the bank which is obsessed with security and blocks my card now and then, etc etc.

@dimpase - interesting how you're fleeing to the US from the UK, while I'm fleeing to the UK from the US. We have different needs: both places have serious problems.
