Even though today’s been pretty stressful, there was one part of it that was pretty cool: An email from the woman who’s going to buy most of the furniture that Jen and I are selling as part of the move. Responding to an email I sent her that recapped our conversation and provided her with […]

Today has been quite the stressful day for me and Jen — one we won’t soon forget. We found out that if we are forced to break our current lease in Larkspur we will be responsible for up to a month-and-a-half rent. That would suck. We are trying to incentivize would-be renters by offering to […]

Our move became quite real this evening when we posted a bunch of stuff to sell on craigslist. We keep hoping we’re doing the right thing in this move, since there’s no going back at this point.

Yesterday Jen, James, Tracy, and I ventured up to Albany for some winter adventures. The fun began at Hooters, where we had a couple pitchers and some appetizers. I even got my picture taken with our Hooters girl Jen. It was a lot of fun. James and I had each been to a Hooters before, […]

Jen and I just returned from a dinner party at Sue and Josh’s place. Karen and Joti were there, too. Jen made and brought her famous lasagne. We had a good time. We watched some footage of Sue and Josh’s wedding from the summer. I think Jen and I both got a preview of the […]

Yesterday’s Nor’easter set a Christmas Day record here in the Northeast: More than 19 inches fell in some places. The snow has subsided for the time being and the roads are clear, but it sure was cool seeing all that snow come pouring down last night. We just had a tasty salmon lunch and are […]
