Well, today I left my place on Calvert St for the last time. It was a great little place for me. This was the first place I've ever left and really not wanted to let it go. I only lived there for a year and a half but I changed a lot as a person while I was there. I started dating my girlfriend, now my fiance, while I lived there. I started road racing when I moved in there. I raced Cat B all last Cyclocross season, my first ever, while I lived there. I had an incredibly happy Christmas season there. I really progressed as a photographer there. I'll miss it, but the pasteur is much greener. My girlfriend and I are looking for a nice house this week, in which to move into and start our life together in. Life is good. Life is very good. 
My girlfriend & her father, Peter, on our way to Jimmy's for "breakfast meat"
My girlfriend and I are really thankful that her father and our friend Sheila were, both, able to help us with the heavy stuff today. We managed to get all the big stuff out in just one truck load thanks to their hard work and Sheila's excellent strap n' pack skills. I'm not kidding; by the time she was done playing Tetris with my furniture she had it all sinched down well enough to make a trans-continental move. Thanks!
Jimmy's. Discussing soccer & European travel
We had brunch at Jimmy's this morning; which rocked. I had a western egg omlet and french toast. Much needed; I was starving. I highly recommend Jimmy's to anyone who ever finds themself in Fells Point hungry.
Life is good,
- Mike
