« Global warming--NOT | Main | Sex with robots »

The last few weeks have been very busy for me.  Barb came to Seattle to visit, then I helped James move over and get an apartment, then Barb and Xenia came over.  Xenia has a few pictures up (check out the new car James bought).  I'll have some more pictures up before too long.

James starts work (orientation actually) tomorrow morning.  His first job just out of college.  Barb, who handles all the medical questions in the family, said James asked her about his appetite.  He said he had a funny feeling in his stomach and didn't feel like eating.  Yeah, there's a name for that condition.  It's called "butterflies".

Interesting about the new car.  It's a Toyota, which is the same manufacturer as the first car Barb and I bought and he got it at the same dealer we did.  We bought ours new (only one other car we have bought was new when we got it) and James bought his new.  We bought ours in 1976, James got his 30 years (minus a couple months) later.  His cost about nine times as much and his starting salary is 5.25 times as much as mine was the next fall.
