so many things going on. first of all, we’re ditching the suburban life for the city. we’re renting a cool loft apartment in the warehouse district of cleveland. a really neat area. it’s something we’ve always wanted to do. moving next week – bill’s having movers do it all while i’m in the hospital getting my other knee replaced. we’ll store what we don’t want to bring or can’t fit. if we like living downtown, we’ll buy a condominium loft in the same area. we are so excited! the building is very dog friendly, so dogs are coming, too. as if! dog walkers, dog sitters, fitness club in building, 13th floor apartment (yikes!) with an incredible view, a restaurant on one side, salon, cleaners, and market on the other side. more restaurants across the street. private underground parking.
as i mentioned above, right knee is bring replaced november 3. i’m so ready. i get to come home to a new place with only a couple steps up to the bedrooms. i think 3. piece of cake. my sister joy is coming to stay with us for a couple weeks to help me while bill’s working.
matty and mel doing and looking great. matty’s been dieting to get down to his high school weight. succeeded and looks fabulous. as does mel. mel loving and succeeding at her job, matt teaching and studying.
jax finished up enough songs in the studio to make a small demo. jeff: i’ll get you that copy this week.
last week mark had a bad scooter accident. not a motorized scooter. a kid scooter. wound up in the hospital for four days with a lacerated spleen and lots of scrapes and bruises. he’s out now. sounded pretty good the other day. i’m calling him as soon as i finish this post.
life is so cool, isn’t it? changes... awesome.

I wish you well on the knee replacement sounds like the timing of the move was right there. Will think of you. Glad you have someone looking out for you while Billy boy is causing havoc.
Missed being around ;d

There IS a guest bedroom, isn't there?
I'm wondering what kind of damage, um, mischief, um, destruction, um......it will be good to get him away from electrical projects, won't it? ;-)
Posted by: lucy at October 23, 2005 10:09 PMWhoah, moving very cool. I don't think I could handle living in the city. I have a hard enough time dealing with the few thousand who live here.
I am looking forward to the Demo. Jax rocks. Tell him I want backstage passes when he starts touring and hits IN.
Good luck with the surgery I will send postive thoughts your way on the 3rd.
Posted by: Jeff A at October 23, 2005 11:09 PMAnd here it is! The big announcement of the big move. I am so backasswards sometimes. duh. My thoughts will be with you during that surgery on the third, dear...
Posted by: Keri at October 27, 2005 01:45 PMYou don't do things by halves. Good idea to get Bill to handle it all. I didn't realize you were a city girl. Good luck for next week, it's come round very quickly!
