Countdown To Kickoff

Many of you reading this will have experienced our patented cure for insomnia, the story of how we decided to build a home in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, Mexico after only two visits and a tense come-to-jesus with our "careers" and bank accounts. It seems, however, that dragging you onto an ICloud Photo Album of boring construction pix didn't quite guarantee a full eight hours of REM sleep so, we're going to try this blog thang to put you in a coma once and for all.

DAY -1:
Today, Monday Jan 7th 2019 is the last one here in leafy Westchester before tomorrow's Contra-Flow Caravan south of the proposed wall. To bring you up to date, we’ve rented our Nuro house to an un-named actor and his girlfriend starting tomorrow till mid-March while he’s shooting the third season of Divorce for HBO (leave him alone, Pam!)

Thus, starting the day after Xmas, we've had to strip the house of seasonal decorations, bring-in our handyman for touch-up painting and systems repairs, move-out our fab niece, Charlotte, who’s been with us since June, get AJ & Oliver's Christmas haul to their respective Murray Hill & Williamsburg apts, and empty-out all our closets, bathrooms. etc. This all as we made repeated trips to the Mex consulate in NY for permanent residency status so we could pack-up spare and recently acquired furniture, appliances, etc. to ship down to SMA for a one-time duty-free move*. Oh, yes, then there's the cats...*(The saga of the move and the mover will be the subject of a later post-move post and possibly a separate podcast and soon-to-be Netflix miniseries.)

Stay tune for posting of  tomorrow's DAY0 story of the flight cum cats, and immigration at Queretaro...
