These last two weeks have been a sort of good-bye tour, with lots of lunches and dinners and drinks. I have complained a lot these last seven and a half years about how I haven't made very many friends in Indiana. I'd like to revise that complaint now: I've clearly made too many friends. Saying good-bye is not easy and I've been doing it over and over again. As much as I've truly enjoyed spending the last bits of time with good people I am not likely to see again for some time, I think I might have preferred to slip away unnoticed. Less melancholy that way.
These last couple days I'm going to spend as much time as possible with my family, enjoying their company up until the last possible second. And then, Tuesday morning, it's off to the airport to begin a thirty-six hour trip to my new home.
