Broken Internet, house of the future
So.... My web site is hosted on a new server, as of about a month ago, and the move seems to have broken my web editing software. I haven't really been able to update, and I'm only able to post this latest news thanks to my elite haxor skillz, also known as html editing experience.
Meanwhile, a lot's been going on over the past month. Ben and I traveled to Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Washington, D.C., and Northern Virginia in a week-long friend-and-family-visiting spree that included roller derby, live jazz in Manhattan, a hike through an urban park, brief stolen moments with siblings and parents, and way too much grumbling at the decay of America's airline industry. I did not manage to see the new TMNT movie with my brothers, even though I really wanted to. Too much chaos was in the air.
When we got back to Portland, we found a townhouse we like and decided to buy it. I guess that happened a week and a day ago, but apparently home ownership comes as you at the speed of light. Our offer has been accepted, our mortgage has been approved, and there are just a few little details to work out before we can take possession of the place. We expect to move around May 13 or so.
So, yeah, with all this stuff going on I haven't had time to figure out how to fix courtneysherwood.com, which has been pretty frustrating. I like to write at least two or three times a week, and a month-long hiatus has been unheard of for at least six years. I'm not sure how long it will be before I can do normal updates again. With all this home buying stuff, plus work, Ben's frequent saxophone events, and trying to keep the cats fed and the bills paid, I just haven't had time to track down and fix the problem.
Morgan might normally be able to help with these technical difficulties, but he and Robin are preparing for their own impending chaos. They're uprooting their lives and moving to Portland in the next month or so.
There you have it.
