Tom may have been mistaken about losing his unemployment benefits soon. While I'll miss him if I move to Oregon much before he does, the income does give us a bit of breathing room.

I finished reading the latest Bill Bryson book today. It's not his best; that'd have to be "The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid," his knockout memoirs. This new one (title escaping me currently) is pretty good, though.

Still not much progress on the socks. I'm not a good enough knitter to read and knit simultaneously. A movie or two would help.
