Update
I've pretty much decided on the San Francisco area, and will be flying out there Monday (no, brain, really, IN THREE DAYS, so you might want to start taking this seriously now) for an interview with a school district.
If this works out, I'll be needing to move out there much sooner than I'd really like, considering how much stuff I must ship/pack/toss/sell before then. Also, the apartment will be actually turning over to brand new people for the first time in, what, seven, eight years? and that means trying to make it presentable enough that our security deposit doesn't take the hit for all of the at least 15 people who have lived here since that last happened. For instance, there's a mattress under my bed platform. It did not belong to D, so that means it's been under there for about six years at least. I am not looking forward to this. Oh, and the agent has been giving us an average of two hours' notice before bringing people over to see the place. Fun, especially given my propensity for not making my bed and leaving my underwear drawer open.
In any case, I hope to be gone from this coast long before Pennsic (sad). I'm hoping I'll be able to make it next year. Must have a get-together of some kind before then. So, uh, yeah. That's the update.
