My niece has lived there for many years and she does like it a lot. Close enough to Syracuse for airports and bigger stores. Oswego has a college student age population so some restaurants and so forth catering to that set. Small town for sure though! DH spent some time there fishing this summer. Big salmon in that lake.

Yes Sheryl, kids are really good at the bed sprawl! They don't want to sleep with you forever though. Promise, they do get past that.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I'm currently at Melbourne Airport for our flight to America. We've hit a problem. Biyi, being Chinese, needed to apply for a visa, which she did and was approved. What we didn't see on the visa was fine print saying she had to enrol at some website. We've put in a frantic application, and now desperately hoping she can somehow get an approval within the next hour; otherwise, we can't make our flight.

Thanks, -t. It's mostly good stuff, though. The massage was delightful.
That's good to hear, Laura. A small town near a larger city is basically what I have now, and I like it.

An age ago, when I was growing up in Pennsylvania, I loved the trip up north to Pittsburgh. You're driving on a big highway through steep hills, then you enter Liberty Tunnel. You exit onto a bridge over a wide river, with the entirety of downtown Pittsburgh bursting into view in front of you. Staggering, to a country kid, especially at night, with all the skyscrapers lit up. To call it a different world is not hyperbole, I was used to farmland and everyone I met probably being related to me in some way. A major city was enthralling.

Oh dear, billytea! Best of luck

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yeah, I talked to her last time it was a vague possibility. That would definitely be a big plus.
Oh no, billytea. I hope against hope that it works out.

I'm sorry, BillyTea. I hope they find a way to make things work.

Crisis averted! After some serious panic and one crying jag (I'm back under control now) The website processed the enrollment in less than half an hour. We're now waiting to board.
We passed an automated kiosk inviting us to "Rate our experience at Melbourne Airport". They didn't have a button for "terrifying".
Thanks for the well wishes. I'd been joking about Customs slapping a tariff on Biyi, but this was a bit too nerve-wracking. (Biyi is now considering whether to apply for Australian citizenship.)
