Tickets Money Passport!

Enough pussy-footing around, says I! Enough complacency and toenail clipping of a summer's night! Enough packing ennui! It's time for an attitude adjustment as Dad would say. We've got an overseas move to do. Let's roll up the sleeves and chomp on our cigar and do the damn thing. Let's immunize and itemize and minimize! Let's remember that some time ago, in a freak seizure of organization and proactivity, we made a To Do list!

Quoth the To Do List:

Things to Buy

• carbon monoxide detector
• ant bait
• roach killer
• mosquito repellent
• freezer bags
• salsa
• bandannas (red)
• TX flag
• TX t-shirts
• bluebonnet potpourri

Don't forget to Pack

• screwdrivers
• TX flag!

Oh yes. This all bodes very, very well. From the looks of things I'm off to irritate a whole new continent with my Texas imperialism and bring the Final Solution to their pest population. Happy trails to me!

(p.s. to Lauren: if you don't know the reference in the post title I'm disowning you.)
