I've followed Beedith to mybloggers from bugster. Wherever she shall go I shall go. Wither you shall blog, I shall blog. the Book of Ruth is Beedith's favorite passage, because I dragged her all over the country on my career travails.

I have a job now so I don't know how often I'll get a chance to write. Or how often it will improve the silence. We'll see.

We bought a house in Tucson. I know we didn't buy at the top of the market but lord knows where the bottom is. I think people will always want to live in a nice house. What they can afford is another matter.

Beedith moves out in a week. I rejoined waist-watchers. Soon I'll have my wife to cook for me and my dog to walk me. So that will make it easier. I've been eating too much fast food on my own in Tucson.

We'll rent out the old house which is kind of a scary venture. I know the rent won't cover the cash outlays but there's some tax benefits. I just hope we get some normal tenants.

We are entering the snowbird migration season in Tucson. I haven't lived through a summer here yet. The trick is to stay indoors during the day and do all your business at dawn or dusk. It is warm enough for Beedith to sit outdoors so I can take Beedith and Tark to the same restaurant.

My dad was in the hospital a little bit but he is ok now and they have him in physical therapy. They think he'll have to be in assisted living. So we'll see what my parents wants to do. They are still living in the house I grew up in in Chicago. They can't do the stairs. Our bedrooms are just filled up with junk. They don't need another Chicago winter. But it's not my business.
