This blog will be the place where we chronicle our move from Seattle, WA to Marinette, WI; a trip of 2,000 miles and tons of cultural/community/environmental shifts. We are going from perennial renters to home and land owners. From urbanites to rural girls. From graduate student to professor. From too-busy to more quiet and calm. It is an adventure that we are excited about -- we hope you will visit us from time to time to see how it is going.

We are sitting in the Douglass-Truth public library stealing books-on-cd for the forthcoming trip. As I enact electronic thievery, Rhonda reads out loud from a recently published book on Trader Vic's Tiki culture. It is a strange and apropos way to spend one of our last Seattle mornings...
Anyway, we will be on the road by Sunday morning. Our "crew" will be coming by on Saturday to help load the truck and we will spend one last night (on the futon) in our lovely little Seattle house.

About Me
- reddama
- I am a fortysomething queer woman living in Northern Wisconsin with my partner of 19 years. Since our move from Seattle in 2007 we have transformed our house, grown a big garden, grown a big community, survived cancer, and continued to work hard on living a life worth living. For my bread and butter I am an academic. I also write about that sometimes.
