(Our obligatory first post, wherein we also explain the blog's Red, White and Blue theme)

A little over eight months ago we set out across the country in our beat up white Subaru station wagon to move from Seattle to Philadelphia. The journey itself was awesome, and we'll probably do a post or two on some of its more interesting aspects, but the really crazy part was the destination, and we recognized this long before we got there.  During those long hours in the car we would enter into a rhythm that involved long periods of silence. It wasn't a problem; it was more a by-product of two people who already knew each other really well settling in and enjoying a journey. The silence was not complete, however. Every couple hours one of us would invariably feel the need to shout out, "Philadelphia? Really?". Or, in our more lucid moments one of us might make a more nuanced statement: "I can't believe we're fucking moving to Philadelphia!"
