Thank Yous and Aliens

This is our life as of late.  Nonstop Thank You note writing and alien fighting.  The Thank You notes are real, the aliens, virtual.  We've taken to setting up camp for a few hours a day at a coffee shop and busting out 20-30 cards.  Then venturing home and packing a few items here and there (or at least determining if certain items are worth the cross-country journey).  After feeling slightly accomplished we sit down at our own respective technologies.  While Dan fights aliens on his XBox, I obsessively check job opportunities (it's looking grim, people) in Portland and watch old episodes of Mad About You.  We make quite a pair, don't we?

Yesterday we chose a newer spot called RENO which offers Stumptown Coffee (from Portland).  We had a super sweet waitress, who, when she noticed what we were up to, offered us a chocolate and pistachio tart and two small glasses of champagne on the house!  Today we went to an old favorite, WormHole and later met up with my dear friend (and bridesmaid) Florencia for lunch and to say goodbye.  She's off to start her own adventure in San Francisco, at least we'll be on the same coast!
