Well, not so much about the sex. . .
Jet Set Show.A show for gifted teens or average adults in the vein of the Electric Company or Mr. Rodger’s Neighborhood . . . if Mr. Rodgers had a myspace account.
The Richard Show: The video equivilant of amatur photography -- or could maybe be called daddy cast. . .
the show with zefrank: The Harley-Davidson of vlogs. . .with duckies.
One of those marvelous students that managed to avoid the pitfalls of bad writing was
Do these things. Help a young artist, get some good music, and make some good karma. You’ll be saving the world from incestuous vampires who hate freedom.
The clock is ticking. . . movers loom. . .our crap is out of drawers and off shelves and strewn everywhere. Spent a few hours trying to teach all of it to roll itself in paper and jump into boxes, but it’s looking like we’re actually going to have to pick the junk up and pack it ourselves. It’s hard out here for a muggle. In our breaks we’re eating fast food and trying to send out change of address to all the people who like to send us bills and checks (always more of the former), oh, yeah, and our friends and family too. If you haven’t received an email with our new information, well. . .take a hint. Or, we’ve lost your address. :)
We’ll be off the grid for a few days or more – no landline, no internet, no cable. I’ll see you on the other side and send word from the new place. Ciao!

Epilogue –
We drive out to our new house. The previous owners have left us a houseplant and a nice card. Awwww. We sit on our wood floor, eat chicken salad sandwiches and have a little picnic in our new house.
I'll keep you posted. And in the meantime. . .let's keep things organized, shall we?

One year timeline of me: What you've been missing
Turn 40 and make plans to visit
So much smoke coming in through vents and floor we must run two air filters 24/7. Furniture and clothes (in closets and coming out of dryer vents) smell like smoke. Condo board is sympathetic, but it's not illegal to smoke even if it's making us sick. Cost of sealing entire condo (floors, pipes, vents) prohibitive and no guarantee it could keep toxic air out. Come to conclusion that, while up to this point we've enjoyed a polite bubble of retired or upwardly mobile neighbors and escaped the downward spiral of rest of the neighborhood, it is time to move on. Put condo on market. Same week Washington Post and New York Times publish series of articles about how east coast real estate market bubble has burst and warns people away from condos as poor investments. Thanks. Great timing, folks.
Few visitors to Condo. Stinky air makes it sooooooo attractive those that do. Cats now nicotine addicted. We lower the asking price. Still few visitors. However, my student's entry into MCPS media festival take third in its division. Not bad for first time out of the gate. Score extra points with principal.
For kicks, buy an iPod and now understand what all the fuss is about. Become addicted to iTunes.

Next weekend go out with agent looking at townhouses. See many in our financial safe zone that are okay. Of course, find an ideal townhome that's just a wee bit too pricey. Crunch numbers, get financial advice, and realize what a deal it is when looking at the long term view. Emotionally hyperventilate. Then, find courage. Make the deal.
