It's all true, folks.
Al didn't have his camera when he bought the new house, so asked me to snap a pic of it for you (I happened to be walking down the street).
He's undecided whether to leave the sign up, but everything else will be left as-is in the name of tradition, local color, etc.

Good luck on the move!!
At least you saved some money sending the MGB........it probably fits in a USPS flat rate box!

Congratulations on the new house, and may it quickly become the home you've always wanted.
Hopefully, you'll pick up on the new language quickly. It helps to immerse yourself in it. So many times I have stopped to ask directions in Nawlins and couldn't understand a damn thing I was told. Ha ha.

All I can say is that the New Orleans Pipe Club is quite fortunate to have a new member from Maryland, and Maryland is just a bit poorer today. Bon Voyage, mon ami!
Good luck with the move. You have my sympathies, having gone through that last year.
I'm happy that I used the opportunity to jettison a truckload of "treasures" in the process.
Saves others from having to deal with my crap when I croak out, an experience I learned when I cleared out my parents' house after Pop died.

Good luck! Moving is incredibly stressful, but I imagine being closer to your family is well worth it.
I hope the humidity doesn’t impact your pipe smoking too much.

I have very few regrets in life.
One of them is not catching up with Al at Boswells while he was still a Yankee.

I hope the move goes well and that Louisiana is all that you hope it will be!
By the way, are you now going to grow a beard like Bradley's?

Al,
Best wishes on the new chapter in your life.
Really pleased to hear you are moving to be with your daughters and grandchildren. Enjoy your family time.
Hope you and your pipes arrive safely

I hate moving. Seems like that’s all I’ve done most of my life. It does tend to keep one from becoming too attached to things. Good luck, be safe and welcome to the South. Land of rain, high humidity and bugs.
Thanks for the update. Family is everything and this is a worthwhile reason to relocate IMO. All the best on this wonderful new adventure.
My 401k thanks your family!Enjoy the move down. I miss the New Orleans area. Maybe I'll look you up next time I'm down that way.
Side note, my wife and I love Roy Rogers. We only get to eat there when we travel over towards Maryland. I think that she destroyed 14 bowls of mashed potatoes two weekends ago while we were there visiting friends.
She's pregnant with our 6th, and she said it was "for the baby" but I'm not buying it.
