S-P-O-K-A-N-E

Contrary to popular belief, we didn't fall off the face of the planet. I'm hoping to get pictures up tonight or tomorrow, the problem being that since we got back to Portland (and now Spokane/St. John) we've been so inundated with people we know that the catching-up has gobbled all of our time. Oh, and there's also that part about trying to find a place to live. And since this place didn't work out, we settled for its little brother. Or at least a fourth of it. 

And, to be honest, we haven't been approved yet. We turned in our application, and since neither of us is a felon or has a bankruptcy, we fully expect to be allowed to move in. Of course we still need to recollect all of our worldly possessions and cram them into the apartment, then take care of the sixteen thousand other trivialities that accompany a move (especially cross-country), but hey, that's how we roll. 

My sincere thanks go out to all of your who've followed this blog for the last few weeks. My sincere apologies to you as well for all of the ill-timed or totally forgotten updates. I'm kicking around the idea of starting a blog to chronicle life in Spokane, but I have zero interest in it being totally about me. I don't like the whole iNarcissism thing. The whole concept of blogging, it seems, has become less about real-time information transfer and more about putting oneself on display. I don't want to waste your time with that. 

In any case this blog is not complete. I have a few more pictures to go through, then all the California pics will go up, along with some of the details of my custom bear-repellent and why babies scare me. 

Cheers!
