The movers did come yesterday morning with all or most of our possessions. My life is slow beginning to rematerialize. Phones are mostly in normal state. the DSL is up and I can work from my laptop, if not yet from the full blown network. Not all of the essential household parts have been located. We managed to put the baby's crib back together -- except we couldn't find the mattress support hangers, so we're left with a useless wooden cage from which David can crawl out the bottom. In my office I have two bookcases. I have the shelves for one, but no mounting brackets. For the other I have mounting brackets but no shelves. This is the last time I inflict myself with a move until the technology is at the point where I can simply say "beam me up" and then rematerialize in the new location both instantly and painlessly.

Meanwhile in Seattle there is apparently some sort of terrorism practice drill going on.
