T minus 43 days

The major updates from the past week are fairly vague:
- We've had several people look at our house, but no offers yet (it's only been one week)
- The effort to weed out our old stuff is ongoing and substantial
- We're coordinating with a variety of contacts soliciting advice on relocation questions

The change isn't quite real yet.  There's increasing evidence that something big is coming, like the water level dropping before the wave.  The constellation of options is starting to resolve into a plan and it's very exciting.  Unfortunately this weekend we had a relative pass away so the excitement is muted.  In time, this too will pass.

For this week's retrospective on the top practical jokes in my 15 years at my current company:

4 - Operation Ding Dong (a.k.a. Operation Tin Cup).  While the idea wasn't ground-breaking, the breadth of involvement was spectacular.  One box of aluminum foil from CostCo covers an amazingly - and disturbingly - large area.  This was the caliber of joke that really made people think twice about scheduling a vacation.
