Making a few upgrades to theneedle. Please pardon any hiccups. Let me know if anything seems out of place.

The great “hey, we might move” crisis of 2009 seems to have been resolved. D’Youville, after letting Ang go in April, officially offered her a new job earlier this week. Had that position not come through our options were moving where a position existed (NYC area) or liquidating our assets (read: junk) on Ebay. Each option had its charm but I think that ultimately I’m happy with the way things worked out.

I didn’t realize how much the uncertainty was bothering me until it disappeared. I feel like I have a modicum of control over my life for the first time in months. From January on we didn’t plan anything past the June wedding. After the wedding we didn’t plan anything because we didn’t know where home was going to be. Now we can finally look forward a bit. I’m pretty damn happy about that.

I managed to kill the database while upgrading word press.  I believe all the posts are back now (minus comments, for now) but please excuse any oddness you happen to encounter.  A number of special characters (apostrophes, double spaces) are coming up strange in both IE and Firefox.  I’ll try to fix it soon.
