A Lot of Lasts

It's funny how we've started marking meaningless moments as our "lasts." Last weekend in our house is complete. Last orders from Pearl Cafe and Grafton House of Pizza have been made. Last time shovelling the driveway. And my last smoke last night. I'm watching the news with the barely noticeable tingle of the patch on my left arm - hey so far so good. I guess I couldn't argue with the realization that I'm being handed a perfect opportunity to quit smoking. I am a little weary about the effect this is going to have on my, ahem, digestion.....

By way of update on where we stand, today is Kellie's last day in the office in Hopkinton, and this will be our last night in the house. We've turned in the cars and are adjusting to being a one car family with our rental. We have started packing our bags, and getting the rest of our things into the basement is top priority for today and tomorrow. Other than some little things, it looks like we're ready to go, which by the way, is freakin crazy. I find my mood switches between frustration over the "hurry up and wait" feeling, the worry that everything won't get done in time or that we'll forget stuff, and the desire for just a little more time!

My meeting last week at EMC about a new job went very well (in my opinion) and I'm extremely hopeful that this will pan out, however I'm not so naive as to think I don't need to put in some time once I arrive in Singapore to open up some other doors (just don't forget to take your shoes off before you walk through those doors!).

Skype is up and running (chrisleger79) and we've had some good practice sessions and just need to set up my mother and we'll be ready to roll.

Unless you've had the pleasure, it's hard to truly understand just how long the flight time is to Singapore - SO- to lend some perspective, here's my movie plan for the flights:
Boston to London:
1.) The Social Network
2.) Red
3.) The American
London to Singapore:
1.) Megamind
2.) Due Date
3.) Unstoppable
4.) The Town
5.) Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps
6.) 127 Hours
7.) The Big Lebowski

Ok - and just for fun:
