my husband, drew, basically rocks my world but has this annoying habit of telling me periodically for the last two years or so that i really ought to blog. i've resisted thus far, but what can i say? it's a friday night and i'm still at work at 8:26 p.m., not because i'm working, but because drew had something blow up at work and he's still working. i'm hoping he'll finish up soon because if boredom has produced the long sought after blog, who knows what else will happen?
that said, i am thinking this might be fun. and so much happening, too. i just started a new job, at santa clara university, and i really, really love it. just finished my third week so it's early, true, but this place had a good vibe since the interview that just hasn't gone away... it's gotten stronger, if anything.
i think i'm getting used to used to living in the bay area again (san francisco bay area, fyi). northern california is a strange and wonderful place... so much that's great about it, so much that's just soooooo californian, and then the stuff that sucks. like traffic. and real estate prices. but that's such well covered ground by everyone in the world that i refuse to go there; it is what it is. the thing is, when i moved back to pittsburgh, my hometown, in 2002, all i could think about was moving back. by the time thinking about moving back out here rolled around, there was nowhere else i wanted to be than exactly where i was. my family was there, my friends were wonderful and many, i loved so much about the down-to-earth sensibility of the 'burgh. true, i was stuck in my old job, which i affectionately refer to as "the viper pit", but, i knew that couldn't last forever. alas, my one true love is literally allergic to my little slice of heaven and it became painfully obvious that if his health was going to improve we had to get out of whatever it was in pittsburgh's pollution that was making him sick, to pollution that while not much better in terms of particulate matter in the air, was more agreeable to his system.
and now it's sunday, and i'm finishing this inaugural post. not a good sign, perhaps, but, there you are. more later...

Anne, congrats on starting to blahg!! Having just come back to Pgh from a great visit to Santa Cruz, the memory of traffic has faded, & now I just recall leaping dolphins, belching sea lions, sailboat rides on the bay, scorching on the beach, sore-necking through the redwoods, the thrill of driving the coastal highway in a convertible, and some incredible food and drink! Please do keep giving us posts from paradise!
