And, Dave's interviewing a lot the week of April 21st in DC. In fact, his former manager at Reuters now works for the parent company of West Law and he sent a glowing recommendation to the hiring manager for the new position. So we are crossing our fingers.

The Title & Escrow company said their fastest closing ever was in 2 days. So we may just be moving May 1st after all with actual money and everything.

In Cesar news (say-ZAHR with dramatic emphasis on the ZAHR!), I bought a doggie backpack for our Aussie, Merlin. In general I am opposed to dressing up dogs in clothing of any kind, except possibly reindeer antlers at Christmastime, but Cesar says a backpack gives a dog a job. Apparently this helps the dog psychologically. Especially working dogs. Though, I am completely mortified that neighbors are thinking I am a total sped--either dog or hiking enthusiast. So it's embarrassing for me. Merlin seems to like it though and he is more relaxed after our walks. So, I will bear the humiliation of too much 'FLAIR'.

Lumbley is kicking a lot and I made Dave read him a bedtime story last night. The Velveteen Rabbit is one of my favorite stories and we will read it religiously whilst Lumbley is in-utero.
