I guess so.

I wish somebody that excited me could be that excited about me.

So, a lot changes in a week, and it turns out that my brother and SiL are NOT moving to Switzerland. I cried out of sheer relief.

They are, however, moving to Denver, which was always their plan, because my SiL was offered a job with a coffee company out there. They were excited about moving to Denver when the Switzerland thing came up.

They went to Denver last weekend to meet the coffee people and look at neighborhoods they might want to live in, and they really loved it. The Switzerland job would have been a time-limited thing, like 1-2 years, and then would be over. And they don't want to uproot everything, move, and then move again so quickly. Plus the Switzerland job isn't really what my SiL wants to be doing, but the Denver job is exactly what she wants to do (coffee buyer).

So, Coloradoans, buckle up. There's a Lang coming to town. (Which is a much bigger guarantee that my ass will finally get out there to visit.)

That sounds like a great outcome all around.

Steph, that sounds like good news for all of you!

And now you can visit Denver!

heeheehee

Langs in my time zone!

I think my cat, Shadow, is starting to fade. Just a couple of days ago he was up and about, but now he's found a place near the heater vent and isn't moving much. He barely twitches an ear when he gets petted. He's an older cat, and his hips hurt, and he hasn't liked being kept inside for the winter without his Daddy around. If he hasn't perked up by Friday I'll take him to the vet and see if it's something relatively minor. But I'm not going to subject him to intensive measures.

It's snowing. And so it begins.

Poor Shadow. I hope he'll be all right. Maybe the vet can give him something to ease the ache in his hips. That might help his mood a bit, too.

yikes! it's snowing here! and coming down fairly heavily.

I am so, so glad I don't travel on Thanksgiving ... getting in to work (in the pouring rain) was enough of a challenge.
