Toast & Roast ... Allentown.

And we're living here in Allentown
But the restlessness was handed down
And it's getting very hard to stay
Well we're waiting here in Allentown

~ Billy Joel ~

Well, I suppose I have to make this quick.  In a very short time, all Internet & Cable capabilities will be cut-off faster than Charlie Sheen at your daughter's wedding.  Such is the way when you are going to move.  It's kind of like starting over, without that persistent brown stain in your tighty whities.  Actually, nevermind, I'm taking that stain to Charlotte with me.

I can't sit here and write that I've been good to Allentown anymore than I can write that Allentown has been good to me.  This has kind of been an estranged love affair and I avoided getting herpes.  And Allentown is better off without me.  Who needs a smart-ass around when you have the Americus Hotel?  Okay, perhaps I shouldn't be "too inside" about all this ... but that place is more barren than my adolescent sex life.

And the Federal Grill and First Choice Equity Group, Inc ... they are both out of biz.  I do want to thank them both for teaching me a lot about business, mistakes, and life ... and First Choice allowed me to come across this forum.  That's a win, it had been a long time since I wrote anything.

Four minutes to go before shut-down ... I want to thank The Wild Samoan Training Center.  That's why I came here in the first place.  Proved to me that their breed is a bit tougher than mine ... but not by much.  Thank you, Afa. 

~Sigh~

Sometimes I loathe going off the cuff.  This is one of those times.  Many people to thank, many more to totally ridicule.  And not enough time to do either.

I'll always have Charlotte to do both going forward.

See you in about seven days ...

Don't let the door hit you in the butt on your way out.  I've seen your rear end more this year than I've seen my husband's.  Just saying.

Safe travel and best wishes for all the best in your new hometown.  xxoo

Wish I were leaving with a bit more sorrow, but this town has not been very good to me. I will be sad to leave the house we tried valiently to rescue along with one, or perhaps 3 good people and a collection of neighborhood cats. Other than that, this town can KISS MY ASS as i start-up that truck and haul our coterie to greener pastures!

See you Saturday Charlotte!

Ha, I came over here to check your blog out from the Kindergarten judging post...and whooee, didn't expect to get quite the eyeful...LOL. By now you've already moved to Charlotte. God, I've moved quite a bit from state to state..and with each move I looked at it as a new beginning, a new adventure and just immersed myself into the new place to where I knew more about it then the locals. Sounds like this one will be good for you guys. Look forward to seeing more of you...er..your posts I mean! (ok..maybe not only your posts <wink wink>).

It is sometimes to to start over and make the move you guys did - Americans have done this in history to find a better way of life. Perhaps, you may vote better in the next election, lol
