So we finally moved into our new home. Ahh nice. We spent the day unpacking the critical stuff: Kitchen wares and clothing in our master bedroom.

Folks, I can't stress this enough: label your boxes properly, on top and on at least two sides. Professional movers unloaded close to a hundred cardboard boxes in all rooms. You do not want to dig out and untape fifty boxes just to find one little essential item, say, your telephone.

Moving into a new house axiom: The electrical, telephone and cable outlets are never where you want them. I had to drill the hardwood floor (three times) in order to run some TV cable and surround speakers wiring. Finished basements with suspended ceiling tiles are a godsend.

Finally, after a hard day's work we were able to retire to bed.

Meow.

"AH SHADDUP YA STUPID CAT!"

Meow.

"There's no door in the basement, we can't lock up the cat."

Meow.

"This is going to be a long night."

Meow.

"Sigh. Tomorrow, I'm getting a door at Home Depot."
