Moose, honey! How was your move? Cats happy? Foxfire4 beading away? Did you find a decent place in Richmond? It's not the pit it was in the early 90's, I hear.
TC, my favorite (not-)Frumpy Fundamentalist Frau! How goes it?
The move was actually very smooth, and we're settled in up here in a decent apartment whose only flaw is that "insulation" apparently wasn't in the design specs when it was built. Right now it's 18 degrees outside, and the walk-in closet off the master bedroom (which is on an exterior corner, and we keep closed off) is 48 degrees! The cats are spastic as usual. :)
Richmond's western suburbs have just exploded since I lived up here last. In seven years the "frontier" has probably expanded three miles west of where it used to be and it shows few signs of slowing down. The city itself is much improved from ten years ago. There's still fairly huge areas that are (as far as I know) 24/7 no-go zones if you value your life, but like in Charlotte, they've done a pretty good job cleaning the place up. The murder rate is way down from the days when Richmond was fighting DC and New Orleans for the title of per-capita murder capital of the country.
