Still here
This whole moving thing has been quite a wild ride. We’re under contract, and moving in 2 weeks. And it may take us a while to sort out the internet access at the new house. (We can get fiber optic service, but I think that means they have to come out and lay the lines to the house.) So posting is still going to be intermittent for a while.
I’m just heartsick about the murders at Virginia Tech. There’s not much else to say, I don’t think. I don’t have any VT connections, but everyone I know who grew up in the area or who has college age kids knows lots of people who went there, or are there now. Obviously the scale is smaller, but it’s in some ways like 9/11 was for New Yorkers, where even if you weren’t directly affected, everyone knew someone who was.
The boys were sick over the weekend, but seem to be mostly on the mend. T and I both feel crappy now, of course. But at least the weather is supposed to be nice by next weekend.

Congrats on the contract and pending move. We had a similar situation 2 years ago, and I remember it as the most 17 stressful days, ever. So much to do…good luck.
We were back in the DC area a few weeks ago and I couldn’t believe the housing prices. And evidently, they have come down. Wow.

So, did you stay in comfortable Alexandria? Move to Arlington, pearl of the Potomac? Or did you cross the river, to leave streets named after Confederate generals behind?
