Well, my half-composed post on the various commencement speeches I’ve heard in the past two weeks will have to wait, because I’ve spent the past 24 hours in a frenzy of packing and apartment logistics. The good news is that I’ve got a backpack packed that’ll last me for the next two weeks, a camera bag that’s jammed with an absurd amount of equipment, and a lease signed on an apartment in DC.

It’s kind of crazy, really – just over 24 hours ago, I saw a post on Craigslist that fit Jenny’s and my ideal specs to a tee (with the exception of the need for street parking, which isn’t a deal-breaker). I sent an e-mail, the owner called within a few hours, we chatted. Today, Jenny and I asked our friend Vidya (our local apartment scout) to go check the place out around 8 pm, and in the meantime the apartment owner e-mailed us a copy of the lease and the co-op rules. Around 9 pm, Vidya called and said “It’s great. Take it.” And so we have.

Come July 15th, Jenny and I will officially be shacked up together in a large 1-bedroom apartment at the corner of 17th and Church, just off of Dupont Circle. We’ll be just about two blocks from the Red Line, seven blocks from the Orange Line, and three blocks from a Whole Foods.

That settled, we’ll be catching a plane to Quito this afternoon, where I’m bringing nothing but clothing, cameras, and a copy of Darwin’s Voyage of the Beagle. See you in two weeks…
