For those who haven't heard, moving sucks.
We think we have the house in order. I have 87 percent of my office in order. To date I have met with the organist/choir director, deacon, worship committee, Stephen Ministers, altar guild, funeral home (yes, I have a funeral to do next week), Senior Warden, the vestry and celebrated my first mid-week Eucharist on Thursday.
Point of fact: I have had more people in my office this first week than I probably had all of last year in BOTH offices.
I'm currently at the library where we got our new library cards and promised on a stack of overdue books to bring in current address information when we have it.
We opened up a new checking account at the bank yesterday also, and now we're waiting on the new checks and bank card to arrive so we can start doing some other things -- like getting an internet provider at home and correcting some bills.
Next on the agenda: The Oregon DMV (ODMV), where they are very strict about who they consider a U.S. citizen. There was a story on the local news two nights ago about a retired Army vet who was born in Germany while his dad was serving over there, and the ODMV is refusing to recognize any of his paperwork that says he's a citizen. And my secretary told me that when she went to get her new license after moving here from Virginia, the person at the counter wouldn't initially issue a license because "You spell you're name wrong."
Yeah . . . this could be an adventure. Thank God the cops weren't from the DMV -- I'd probably have been deported back to Montana by now.

A Few Words About Comments
Comments are always welcome here, but there are a few things you should know:
1) If you comment, leave a name. If you can't figure out how to log in or register or whatever the system is making you do (which, believe me, I fully understand how frustrating that can be) and you must comment anonymously . . . leave a name in the comment section. Purely anonymous comments will be deleted.
2) Comments I deem to be offensive, irrelevant, or generally trollish will be deleted. I'm mainly talking to the Akurians here. Don't make me get out my flag!
3) If you would like to receive e-mail notification of other comments so you can more easily follow a conversation (yeah, like I ever have those on this blog), you must register with Blogger. Sorry . . . I didn't have anything to do with that one.
Enjoy the game.

I hope they don't add Washington efficiency to their strictness; otherwise it'll take them ALL DAY to deny your license.
Sounds as though it's coming together. Will be glad when you get on the internet.
haha
Sounds as if the DMV is a nest of birthers! Good Lord, deliver us!
