Congrats. Congrats. GTFO.


This card isn't dated, but I got it about this time last year - Feb/Mar of 2018. I had moved into a new place that was nicely decorated with a reindeer pelt draped over the tasteful All Modern furniture. And there were plants!

My roommate (I would later discover the hard way) had - and still has - more than her fair share of the mental/behavioral health challenges. And more than regularly, she would cozy up to Uncle Tito's to augment her treatment. The best though would be when she would come home in the middle of the night and cook, but then pass out. And the food would burn on the stove unattended leaving a nice smokey essence to the apartment. Yay!

And she presented as soooo normal during the roommate interview!? 

Anyway, shortly after I moved in, my dear friends who live all the way out in University Park, Maryland sent me a postcard congratulating me on the new apartment and the new job - my environmental conservation gig I'm currently at. It was a time of change and transition. Putting up with Uncle Tito's mistress lasted about 6 months - I told her dad of the liability and then GTFO. The job I'm still at - still trying to save the planet one spreadsheet at a time! 

Anyway, the above posty is from both Craig and Dave. Sent with love and signed by both from Orlando, FL - so they both get credit! Thanks, guys - I got your postcard. 

Get there!
