A super-quick update:

Our house sold; we moved out July 16.
We've been living in a hotel since then.

We bought a new house and we move in tomorrow. Our address is:

305 W. Front St., Buchanan, MI 49107.

I have a new phone number, through Google Voice. Call me at 269-409-1221. It rings both my cell and the house.

My last day at work was Sunday; Charlotte has to work tomorrow and then we're off. Charlotte's new job starts August 30 (although they don't provide health insurance until October 1, so we'll be using COBRA for six weeks).

You can see pictures of our first showing of our new house starting at this image (full of the seller's belongings) and see pictures from our second visit here.

Our house is officially for sale; there's a sign in our yard and a lockbox on our doorknob. I've set up a webpage with pictures and information:

Clifford has taken to kissing things, most notably himself. Here's a video. Note that the big trash bag he kisses is full of clothes to be donated, and the sound he makes when he picks up the cow is "moo" (pronounced ahmvvvv).

We made the traditional pilgrimage to the mall to visit St. Nick. He was the real deal, about 1000 years old. Here's the $18 picture:

I shot a roll of 35mm film with my Nikon FM. I got the scans today and I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. I believe the whole roll was shot with a 50mm lens. The outdoor shots used fill flash (a Philips P536). I didn't do any post-processing or cropping; these are straight out of the camera. Here's a link to the complete album.
