Good luck, Frank. I'm sorry you have to go through the work drama.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Yeah, no one really lived at Walker Point year-round until Bush Sr. and Barbara started living there a few years ago. W went to prep school in New England, where I'm sure that accent would have been mocked, but until then, he lived in Texas.

Yeah, Cindy is right. W was born in New Haven, moved to Midland at age 2 and attended public school there through middle school. He went to prep school in New England (Exeter, I think, which is in NH or maybe Andover in MA) and then Yale, but spent ages 2-13 in Midland (except possibly for summers in Kennebunkport, I guess!)

What is even happening?

Phillips (in Andover, which gets confusing because there is a Phillips-Exeter, in Exeter N.H.).

I know I'm an enormous cheeser, but I love the picture of Maya's wedding attached to this article.

And it also shows that the coordinated-daughter thing is not new. Love it.

(Exeter, I think, which is in NH or maybe Andover in MA)

Andover, I think.

Most importantly, stay strong Frank.

And that is some rockin' Hawaii-style diversity. Great link, Jesse.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I also loved the quote from Michelle's brother who's like, it's not cool enough that there's a black president, but it's my brother-in-law???

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

And in that wedding photo, who would pull Grandma to go with any of those faces. That is such the growing picture of our families.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Just got the official word that I'm OK. But I don't remember us ever having this big a layoff before, so who know how long this will mean things are relatively safe. We're usually recession proof (people go to college when things are good & often go back to college when things are bad), but since this is so related to lending, it hit us right where we live (the whole industry, not just us).
