Moving along...

OK, so no updates for a bit because we are in the process of moving, down to Long Beach. Had enough of the noise, the overpaid little punks in their Mercedes sportsters drunkenly screaming at each other late at night outside our window, the ridiculous spiralling rental prices, the scumminess of every single place we saw that would take a pet, etc. Love the beautiful movie theatres in LA, love some of the craziness of the people, love the Framer's Market, love Santa Monica, Westwood, Beverly Hills, but LA proper just doesn't cut it.

Where we're moving is going to be like a 10-minute drive to work for Genevieve, for the first time in her whole career. My school schedule will be a good deal more modest this year, so the fact that my commute will be thirty minutes to an hour is no problem, and anyway, I can even take the train(!).

Anyhow . . . tomorrow I am breaking down the computer, packing, loading the Honda and heading to Long Beach to pick up the U-Haul and come back up Wednesday morning. We will be back on line Friday or Saturday.
