We're moving!
I'm not going to tell you where, but that's just because this is the internet. If anyone has ever posted their email address to a website, you know how much spam you get. I don't think an address will do the same, but whatever, I'm still not going to do it. I will however show you what it looks like. For those that know where we live - we've moved 5 blks east. We upped our rent and shrunk our place. Seems wrong?! The plus side is, quiet, sunny, and *big* backyard. We both like the city, but the noise is tough.
So if you don't get a email or note that tells you our new address -- don't take it personal!! Instead, chew us out for being so disorganized that we didn't get your name on our list (that way we can update our list!). We'll probably move around the 5th of November, and then, who knows maybe an eviction party? (You know the kind of party that *should* get you evicted, but since you're leaving anyway....)
Other big news includes the Pottery show in Issaquah for Dori. She'll be in Issaquah, Washington for the next week selling her beautiful new line of dinnerware.
Question: Is $21 too much for a CD? The local record store - Zulu Records - has an incredible place, all CDs are available to be previewed and cool atmosphere. But $21? Hmm. I guess interms of entertainment per dollar here's a rough estimate:
Movie: $7/hr (popcorn and ticket)
Book: $3/hr (8hrs reading for $24)
Bar: $7/hr (too tough to estimate, but approx. assuming $6 drinks/including tip)
CD: $1.40/hr (45 min CD listened to 20 times for $21)
These are really rough numbers, but on this list CD's are by far the cheapest forms of entertainment.

Thanksgiving
We missed Thanksgiving this year. But not really. My cousin Leah is now a married woman. Chris Schwartz and his family welcomed Leah (and hopefully our family) into marriage. So we had our Thanksgiving meal on Friday in celebration of the event.
It was a nice trip back to SD. A lot of family and good times. My buds Chris Konvalin and James Brunsch even got a mention in the local paper: Memsense article
These guys make cool gyroscopes and accelerometers.
