Migration to Thingamablog

Hi all,

I’ve discovered a neat tool called Thingamablog. It allows me to create these entries offline and then to upload them to my website. I’ve just started getting the site transitioned over to Thingamablog so, things are going to be a bit discontinuous until I get all the kinks worked out. The big challenge is assembling my templates for the various page entries, and in particular the integration with jalbum in the photography section. Please bear with me as I work all these things out.

We went up to Oxford to visit Meghan this weekend. It was quite an experience as Georgia was in town to play Ole Miss. The grove in front of the student union was full of “grovers” in their tents and such. The crowds were very thick, but we had a good time visiting with everyone. We got to see Meghan’s apartment which she shares with Christian, who is one of her roommates from last year’s experiment at Campus Walk. It’s your typical college apartment, fairly well maintained, but simple. It should do just fine for Meghan, but I would feel a bit claustrophobic after a while!

Another milestone in the ongoing house saga is upon us as we are going to list the house for sale on Friday. Mona Prince, who used to live across the street, is coming over with the paperwork to sign. We decided some time ago that we would list the house for sale, as we just couldn’t go through this experience again. We are just getting too old for this kind of stress. The big question is: Where do we go? If a job is in the offing, we would go pretty much anywhere in the southeastern US. If not, then we will probably wind up in suburban Atlanta. Atlanta fulfills a lot of the requirements we had set upon when deciding where we wanted to live. The weather, economic climate, proximity to Meghan, schooling options for Jourdan. It’s a bigger city than we are used to living in, but we will have to make that adjustment.

Take care all,
