I have on many occasions claimed that a large part of the reason Houston is faring so well during what is shaping up everywhere else in the country to be an economic disaster (Houston's markets are now downturning, largely due to the falling prices of oil, but at a much slower rate, and with much less unemployment, etc. The housing market is still

Poulos!

You still exist? How are things?

I'm good, still in Minnesota. It's been a spectacularly brutal winter - a couple weeks ago it was -40 with windchill. Are you still in New York? Do you ever come home? I'm looking at being back the last couple weeks of March so maybe I'll see you if you're around.

-40 F or C? [See that's a joke because they're the same. Eh.]

I am still in NY. I come home often. I'll be back next in April then again in May. I will not be home in March but will instead be in Spain.

What are you going to be doing in Spain? I think I am going to study in Hungary next fall. It's a cognitive science seminar but seems pretty sketchy/might just be open enrolling at a university in Budapest.

Any ideas what you want to do once you graduate? Though perhaps you have a year longer because you deferred...

I'm thinking of going to UT for grad school - I'm interested in public health/education these days. All I know is I have GOT to get out of this godforsaken tundra.

I'm going to visit my girlfriend Linda, who is studying for the semester in Barcelona. That should be fun.

After I graduate, which will indeed be a year late, May 2011, I plan to do some sort of IT something or other. In Houston. No question about that. I also have to get out of this frozen wasteland. As cool as NYC is, it's too cool sometimes. Today there was a blizzard. Seriously. I had to go to classes and every couple feet I'd have to brush my body off.

Uck.
