So it looks like I’m moving downtown<\/a>, probably starting the 9th next month. <\/p>\n

I’m pleased to see I can keep up my Tokyo Joe’s lunch habit<\/a> (and only a couple of blocks away, too). I’m told the coffee service at the office sucks, but I drink tea, and there’s a Starbucks in the lobby.<\/p>\n

Actually, the biggest trick will be to avoid bigger-than-usual lunches — though I might see if my favorite burrito place is still in business, just for an occasional treat.<\/p>\n

On the down side — right now I am nicely positioned by a Toyota dealership and a Subaru dealership for taking the cars in for service. Downtown? Not so much. Margie’s not far from a Toyota dealer, and there may be some Subaru possibilities<\/a>; at worst, there’s one not too far from our house that would be doable (shuttling to home or to the light rail station).<\/p>\n

Also a bit problematic is my comic book stuff. Mile High Comics<\/a> used to have a downtown store, but it’s closed since I’ve been gone from there (not sure if there’s a connection). I can still go to the Littleton store — and probably will — since it’s only a mile or so beyond Katherine’s school. But it’s still a bit inconvenient, and will be even more so once I’m only approaching her school from the east.<\/p>\n

I’m going to be visiting the office down there Friday afternoon. I’m already building a list of things I need to find out, or confirm about my office (white board, plenty of bookshelves, access hours, etc.), to be followed by planning for the actual move.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
