passing on the lifeboat...

just a remark about living here without a car...

as i said, i returned my rental car tonight. basically, i've spent the last week pulling together my apartment--getting furniture, kitchen stuff, etc. knowing that i'm not going to have a car around here for awhile, i've been stocking this place up like a bunker, semi-dreading returning this rental...

i did it tonight, and i thought that it would be like pushing a lifeboat back out to sea, and staying stranded on the island...

actually, it was a bit liberating... i'm stuck with what i've got here, and with the huge amount of work coming down the pipe, i think i'll be okay...

but check with me in another 48 hours... i'll probably already be pining for a set of wheels...

there's always the bike option, i guess...
