Car-buying in the modern age
When we arrived in Florida on Sunday, 5 days ago, we had not yet decided whether to buy or rent a car for Jett. We will be here for just 4 months and hauling a car north, while possible, is a hassle we didn’t need. On the other hand, renting a car also had a … Continue reading
Hunkering down
Last year we left MA before the cold weather set in. This year we waited long enough to see campgrounds close and witness the preparations for those foolish enough to ride out the winter in New England in their RVs. There are more of them than I would have expected. I think there are only … Continue reading
Excruciating waiting
My company still has not given me an answer on my request to work remotely this winter. I think it is a 50/50 proposition, so I have been spending some time thinking about Plan B. Just retiring is one option, but it would be financially painful. Finding another job would be feasible but difficult. Putting … Continue reading
A year of Patience
It was one year ago today that I began my 3-month leave-of-absence from work. We had, of course, been spending a lot of time in Patience before then, but had a home to live in until the start of September, 2012. Jett was full-time from that day, but I lived for a week as a … Continue reading

So how did that work out for us? I think if I had to choose one adjective to describe the … Continue reading

Living small
We are now settling into Patience for full-time, everyday living (as opposed to traveling across the country living). It is mostly ok, but is very different than living in a four-bedroom house. Some things we miss: The yard. Strange though it may seem, the thing I miss most is the yard. Not so much for … Continue reading
R.I.P. Cha-Cha
Cha-Cha was born on the streets of San Juan in August, 2000, and for the first 4 months his grasp on life was tenuous. He was in a dog pound and was probably just a few days from execution when he was rescued by SATO who flew him north to the Sterling Animal Shelter in … Continue reading »
