The Old and The New

You know life could be worse when you find your happy, healthy two-year old reading Blueberries for Sal in your new condo.

The move went very well with only minor hitches.  Frances locked herself in a room within ten minutes of moving into the condo.  Luckily, she and I had sampled some cheese at a Whole Foods the day before and I still had the toothpicks in my jacket pocket.  We were able to unlock the door with the toothpicks and spring Frances, no problem.  Thank goodness for Whole Foods sampler platters.  Now we keep a supply of toothpicks around for similar emergencies.  We're down to about one toothpick a day!
