Greetings from the Beverly Public Library in Beverly, Massachusetts, where Sarah and I are in the process of setting up housekeeping (or apartmentkeeping, if you want to be more precise).  We moved on Friday, a process that went better than expected, if you measure by the number of expletives used (very low compared to the move to Babson).  Special thanks to Shawn DeVeau for his help in loading the truck!
 
We live downtown, which is pretty convenient.  We're in walking distance to pretty much everything we need outside of a supermarket, which is a pretty short drive.  Parking is ample (there's a municipal lot across the street where you get 4 hours for a quarter) and we're about a block off from police and fire.  There's also about a half-dozen salon-type places in walking distance (the number of such places per person seems really high).  So we did pretty well with location, I think.
 
The apartment itself is a floor in a Victorian, has a few things that need fixing but nothing major.  The one serious issue is storage - no real closet space and very little counter space in the kitchen area.  We'll work through it.
 
Unpacking will dominate this week, which should be fun.  As much as I hate moves, this one went pretty well.
