A Seriers of Unfortunate Events

So, the lowlights of this past week:
1) Running over Tom's bike at the brewery with the forklift
2) The bank calls me on Bea's birthday saying we can't close on the house
3) Even though we can still move in, the beer truck that we were going to use breaks down at the end of the today

All in all, things could have been worse.
1) Even though I hit Tom's bike with the lift truck, the bike mechanic was able to true the wheel for $20 or so, and nothing else was damaged.
2) Even though the closing was neigh-sayed by underwriters, we drew up an agreement so we could still move in our stuff since we had help planned for the weekend (but we can't live there yet).
3) Even though the beer truck is broken, Gary paid for a U-Haul for us to do the 4 block move.

Advantages of moving 4 blocks as opposed to 2000 miles:
- making several trips is possible and easy
- as long as you have enough space at your destination, you can take everything you want
- less travel time
- all the people that help you pack are there to help you unpack

Note: Although there are advantages of a close move, it should be remembered that moving is still moving, and moving sucks.
