I am settling in. I still don't have internet. And for once, it's not user error. It's all on Verizon. I have cried on the phone with at least five representatives. Which is actually a pretty good record, considering I have talked to at least 20 over the past few days. But the lack of…

Including our current apartment. I loved it. I love it. And it changed a lot over the past 16-ish months. I decided to make a small book to share photos of the space. I didn’t take any new ones for this at all, just went through my iPhoto archives and flickr stream to find ones…
