Hey! I'm sorry to hear about your housing issues (fire? Jesus!) and the rest of your life sounds...complicated, let's call it, but you sound pretty positive about it anyway. So, I hope it's not inappropriate, but I'm happy for you, despite the obvious negatives of your current situation.

As for me, I'm still - STILL!!!! - in Nashville. I have vague hopes of getting back to the West Coast (Portland preferably) permanently within the next few years - but that's all they are. Hopes, vague.
