		<description><![CDATA[Things have been a bit quiet here lately. At least I&#8217;ve not had anything significant to add to the discussion.

But now I do:


  On Tuesday, 2 January, 2007 at 6.15pm, Anna, Molly, and I will board an Alaskan Airlines plane bound for Seattle. When we arrive, we will be home.

		<description><![CDATA[This time last year, Anna and I were on our way over to the Cotswolds in England where we spent our days hiking from tea shop to tea shop and our evenings relaxing in pubs in quaint English country towns.

In preparation for our trip we&#8217;d hiked a few hills in the Hudson Valley area and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;LOW BROW&#8221;

A little appetizer before the meat of this story&#8230;

Jeff recently went shopping for jeans here in Newburyport. Given the upscale nature of many of the shops here, I told him it may be difficult for him to find them at all. I suggested No Sweat Apparel, based in Massachusetts that sells union-made attire. However, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;HIGH BROW&#8221;

I had applied the first of several doses of aloe to my burnt brow, and after a bit of cursing (and some lunch), I felt brave enough to venture out in the world.

After all, it was a beautiful day, and I could not pass up the possibility to explore the many nifty clothing stores [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;NO BROW&#8221;

My buddy &#8220;Hellboy&#8221; is tying the knot next month (!), and his parents are throwing a couple&#8217;s shower this weekend. In honor of this event (and frankly, because I was starting to look like a early Beatle- shaggy and thick-browed), I decided to get a haircut, brow wax, and buy myself some new duds.

First [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Listening to the locals talk about Plum Island, the village, I expected something a little nicer than what we found when we drove out there yesterday. I guess I need to distinguish between Plum Island the nature preserve and Plum Island the village.

The Plum Island nature preserve is wonderful. Absolutely. Undeniably. Walking along the beach [...]]]></description>

Of course, it was still snowing when we were done, and we had about another inch or two of the foul precipitation when I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, I signed the lease for our new apartment this morning. So it&#8217;s
official.

I also dropped off our air mattress and my sleeping bag. No
more hotels for me!

Of course, this also means that I&#8217;ll not have a phone until Comcast
can set up our combined cable internet and phone connection. Oddly
enough, we won&#8217;t be getting any cable [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Newburyport, MA!



What a cute, busy little city near the New Hampshire border! After
much searching (and much agonizing), it looks as though we will be
moving to our best location yet.

Here are some links which tell more than I possibly could (at least
until after we&#8217;ve moved):
