Forgive me for not writing sooner. Things were crazy, exciting, and exhausting ever since New Mexico, and blogging fell completely off the radar.
So…looking back…
We spent a night in Flagstaff, AZ, and met up with Evo Terra and his better half, Sheila, for some fabulous pizza. I want to say [...]

We’re here. All is finally settling down. Sorry for not blogging, but after three days crazed activity and some customer service calls, we only JUST for the phone/DSL working.
Lengthy post tomorrow to explain what’s been happening.

The house transferred today. I am no longer a home owner.
I have mixed feelings about this. Everything little repair is no longer my responsibility, but we won’t be able to change things as much in the new townhouse, since we’re renting.
I will not miss yardwork, however.
My family and I have descended like [...]

My current workspace. It’s the last week in the house, and everything is packed. This is all I have left to work on.
After today, I won’t be working from my house anymore. That’s a strange thought.

After several days of looking at houses, apartments, and condos, we’ve finally settled on our new place in LA. We’re renting a townhouse at The Summit at Warner Center, and we’re very excited about it. The kids are looking forward to the move, Cathy is thrilled with the new [...]
