Well, yesterday was spent in Houston, signing a lease application, waiting for paperwork to go through, and all that other apartment nonsense. Houston's a big city, and I'm learning a bit more about what it's going to take to live there ( Read more... )

After reading this article I feel hard pressed to ever buy a home that is under the jurisdiction of an HOA. I don't think I want anyone telling me what I can and can't do with my property.

Well, with everything out in the open, now, it's time to start to get to work. I had to tell my current employers about our move. I have yet to hear from one (307 Downtown) but I had just started there this week, so I don't know how that's going to roll.

Everyone, please be well, and let me know how you ( Read more... )

I keep playing Nickel Creek's version of "Sweet Afton" and Toto's one big hit, "Africa" over and over again. I have them in permanent rotation on Rhapsody. I am just nuts for 80's rock and Irish music today.
