Congrats on the move! I actually know some fantastic people in Albany if you're looking to meet people at all. From what I hear, Albany can be a bit rough for newcomers to meet people.

Fantastic people sound fantastic, and it might be beneficial to have some friends in the Albany area. Might it be possible to get in touch with one or either groups by email?

Good luck with the not-getting-infected! (I think that should be on a cake.)
