Transitions
My newlywed sister and her husband, Matt, moved back to Arkansas this week. They've been living, working, and going to school in New England for the last 9 years or so. After work last night, I went to help them unload their moving van into long-term storage. On the way out to the storage facility, we were talking about the Devil Queen.
Matt: "So are you really thinking about selling the Devil Queen when you're finished with her?"
Me: "Yeah."
Sister: "If you do, what will happen to the blog?"
Me: "I don't know. I've been thinking about that, but I'm not sure yet. I imagine we'll get another house. I mean we've got to live somewhere, right?"
Matt: "Wow. After all that work, what will do with all the time you'll have."
Me: "I don't know. I'm sure we can find new and exciting ways to completely fuck our lives up."
Everyone: [Pause followed by laughter]
