Resettling

Your Humble Chronicler happily reports that The Band has safely and (more or less) smoothly made the transition from the BIG city (Pittsburgh, PA, population ~3 million) to the small town (Tallmadge, Ohio, population 16.5.....thousand!). The New Gig is underway, Sonshine is enrolled in his new school, El Chat Diablo (aka Ferocite) has adapted to his new expanded (and carpeted) digs and we've even found a preliminary dry cleaner nearby the new 'hood. Our Muse continues to search for the right new gig for herself, whiling away the time at home tutoring the next door neighbor's 2-mo-old cat, Bingo (aka Bongo, JoJo, TinyCat and, most recently, Uma Thumban), a little orange waif of a feline, with six claws on each front paw.

I will also happily report that We Are Not Missing the Big Old Bad Old City. At all. While it will likely never fade to a distant memory, it's also about as likely that it will ever rise to the level of High Nostalgia, such as lola describes here.

Later.
