"No comment at this time..."

Well. If we weren't before, we are now firmly ensconced in our 50-ton anchor. we're getting ready to go to the store and buy another $120,000 worth of accoutrements to make it feel like "home." Based on a quick market analysis, Heaven is gonna be crazy expensive. In fact, i'm thinking the only ones who'll be able to afford real-estate there will be investors from California. That's a li'l depressing-- i've met so few people from Cali that i can stand to be around. But then, i couldn't afford the property taxes in the Cityfoursquare, let alone the initial down-payment; so it seems i'm safe.

i guess i've been a modicum depressed about being in Nuevo Mexico. It's hot, dry, windy and the people are usually just a little less friendly than Californians and they're way worse drivers ("Push the other pedal... then you'll go forward and not nowhere.") But this whole electronic communication thing is kind'a nice--- it seems like there's fellowship out there even if i can't touch you or look into your not-yet-digitized eyeball. That's encouraging; the analogy of our desert here extends into some planes of life that i'd very much like it to stop extending into.

And then there's the kiddoes. i was playing around with Aeon last night and he gave me the suggestion above regarding how i might shoot his pic. i laughed pretty hard at that. That made me significantly less down and mopey than i generally like to be. Not a bad feeling, laughing. i'm gonna try it again one of these days, just have to get those li'l muscles strong enough. If you haven't tried laughing at something in a non-cynical fashion lately, i'd encourage you to give it a go.
