Cassie and I walked over to Inner Drive Technology World HQ 7.0 (planned) yesterday to pick up the keys and get a sniff of the space. She even saw the dog wash station, but had no idea what it was. That will change next week.

It's a chilly but mostly-sunny spring morning on the first day of May, despite some gray clouds lingering to the west. I have one meeting this morning before walking Cassie over to the new building to pick up the keys. Then starts the Weekend of the Box, when I do the last bits of packing. "Last bits" is doing some heavy lifting there, as that includes my library and kitchen, and several trips to the local charity and used bookstore drop-offs.

Josh Marshall goes to town on the institutional decay and anti-historical bent of the Republican majority on the Court:

Adam Kinzinger and I may not agree on policy much, but we absolutely agree on this:

I'm at my downtown office today and tomorrow because some of my co-workers have flown in for unrelated meetings. Then starting Friday afternoon, it's a full-on sprint to the move on Tuesday. Yay.

I'm down to only 3,642 small tasks (not counting the kitchen and library—yikes!) before moving next Tuesday. Cassie continues to spend much more time in the office than she ever has before, and much more time poking me from under the desk. Is she anxious? No, but maybe she just needs a little more reassurance right now.

Cassie did, in fact, get a half-hour walk around 2:30, but as I have a 3-hour rehearsal tonight, she won't get another one until about 10:30. Pauvre chienne, je sais. Elle souffre.

Cassie's lunchtime walk will be a bit late this afternoon. My guess is we'll go out around 2:30:
