A personal update. . .
Boy, I don't post much anymore. It seems like many people I know have moved towards Facebook or Twitter (a service I really don't understand), but given how little I post, I can't complain too much, can I?
E is back from her West African research trip, and that is a good thing. 6 weeks without my wife is really more than I like (and more than she likes!), but she got a lot done, including information that really couldn't be gleaned without actually being there. Unfortunately, we managed to both be sick by the time we were reunited, and have moved into "trying to get better mode" which involves a lot fewer hikes/bike trips/outings. We did go camping this weekend, as planned, with some Stevenson folks, but we showed up mid-day Saturday, and although we planned to stay through Monday morning, we ended up leaving Sunday evening. by 7pm my coughing gets bad (thank goodness for cough suppressants, which help), and E gets fatigued and unwell. This morning I woke up okay, although still coughing, and E was felling generally bad, but the advice nurse seems to think it's unlikely to be malaria. However, it has lead to a mostly sitting around, not putting away camping gear, and watching movies or sleeping. Not quite what we had in mind for our 7-month anniversary, after missing our 6-month while she was in Nigeria. Oh well, so it goes.
The search for a new apartment in San Francisco will have to begin in earnest soon. We are planning to move at the end of July when our lease here runs out, but so many places are looking for ASAP tenants, and we are not quite there, so trying to balance "being prepared" with "not being too early". It does look like there are quite a few options in the Mission district and Potrero Hill, so that's a good sign. Will keep you updated if there is actually any news.
