Wheedle in My Rearview

After spending the first 40 years of my life in Seattle, WA, it was time for a radical change. To that end, Robin and I packed up and moved all the way across the country – to Springfield, MA.

My son Max and I took the opportunity to enjoy a long-distance road trip, while Robin searched for our new home in Springfield. During the tumultuous weeks before, during, and after the move, I wrote these blog entries.

Max and Jason: Days 9 and 10

On our journey across these United States, Max and I drove over 3600 miles. Now, if Max hadn’t drifted off onto I-94, that number would be about 250 miles lower, but still: That’s quite a drive.

The Three Complaints of Jason Toews

I have come to believe that the resident in Unit 73 – in clear violation of Regency Park Community Association policy – is operating a breeding and training facility for Mexican fighting dogs, or else some kind of long-term boarding kennel for incontinent llamas.
