We moved yesterday. The move went smoothly. Thanks to the help of Ryan, Cliff, Mark (football player from Iowa), Josh, and Matthew, we were able to move all of the contents of our house around the corner in about 8 hrs, including lunch.
Everything seems to be working fine, except for some of our electronics. The installer forgot to put two lines into the house for our TIVO, which means that we are only getting one feed right now. We are also getting shotty reception (I think the guy installed our dish too close to the tree line). We also will be without DSL service until next Friday. Bummer.
After we settled in last night, Michelle and I took the kids to see Willy Wonka. It was very entertaining. Tim Burton took a different if not over-used angle on the chocolate maker's character. Burton's Willy Wonka, played by Johnny Depp, has unresovled father issues (boy, haven't seen that before!). I liked Gene Wilder's interpretation better. I tend to think of Wonka less as a damaged genius and more as a quirky genius. The highlight of the film were the ooompa loompas. Very funny!
Today we clean the old place. My feet and arms still hurt. Ouch!
