Although I don't know, he might put in some applications even before we move, but at least he'll be able to say that we're going to be out there.

When I was job hunting in Chicago from Milwaukee (commutable distance even, though I never intended to commute) I was always careful to state in the first sentence of the cover letter that I was already in the process of moving. I'm sure there were still a lot who just went "non-local address, nope) but it got me through at least some doors.

Always Anti-fascist!

I know, JZ, that would be great, but not likely without an exceedingly generous patron of the kind that only exist at the end of Dickens novels. Sometimes it is hard to read about all these fresh starts when you're not even sure you started once, ever.

Has anyone used Crest White Strips? The instructions say that you shouldn't use it right after you brush your teeth in the morning, but how long should you wait? 5 minutes? 30? I just brushed my teeth before I got into the shower, then put them on after I got out. Hope my teeth don't fall out.

“Not dead yet!”

Barb, I just checked out your Flickr set, and ZOMGWOW, that is one beautiful house.

Thanks, Jess. I think the thing I like most about it (other than my total grabby hands kitchen) is that while it's a really lovely house, it's easily the least formal house we've owned since our first house in Cleveland which was a little 1942 brick bungalow.

No crown molding or wainscoting or columns or any of those details that make a house feel formal. Not that I haven't enjoyed our houses that have been more towards the formal edge, but we never really quite fit in them, since we're really not formal people at all. This house is elegant and comfortable, but it feels like the house equivalent of a comfy leather chair that's nice and broken in.

That was exactly the vibe I got from it. It's got a lovely open layout, too.

ION, All-Clad is apparently now selling asshooks for chicken-roasting.

Soooo glad I'm not the only one who had that thought when I saw that roaster.

That's a pricy asshook.
