So... the other big news, related to the earlier news is, I'm (hopefully) buying a house. A 1950s limestone house, set among a nice row of 1920s bungalos, including the Breaking Away house.

It's in amazing shape, the builder/first owner built it incredibly well, and the interim owner is meticulous and O/C like me and like the builder. I think it will be a great place to live. It might even be big enough to have a girlfriend. Which could be good, since my current girlfriend *has* a girlfriend. Which is great, I have to say.
