Those of you who give a damn noticed I haven't been posting much in the last week. We just signed a contract on this house:
We had planned on being homeless longer, since moving out of our old house. Our "old house" wasn't that old. We had it built in 1990 and it wasn't anything special, just a small A-frame house way out in the suburbs. Since then, everyone else in the world moved out there too and traffic became a special kind of nightmare that only those who have lived in Hampton Roads can understand. (I know traffic is bad in other places but you have options there.. it's all about optional routes!)
The new place is only about 3 miles from my work and 4 miles from her work. And 2 miles from the kid's babysitter. All going in the same direction.
Congratulations, but I have to ask, is there a room for Stevie?
Posted by: Tazteck at July 7, 2003 8:20 PMCongratulations!! I can relate to living close to home. After five years of driving 35-40 miles into downtown Houston, I now have a 7 mile commute to work. I feel as if I've been given two additional hours in each day. Enjoy!!
