Nobody puts Baby in a corner
Kate -- although this is a complete reversal from her earlier position -- has decided that she wants a blog name. Henceforth, my wife will no longer be referred to as "Kate," the commonly accepted variation of her given name, but will be called FRANCES "BABY" HOUSEMAN, or Baby for short. Since nobody (except me) got to choose their NOM DE BLOG, I haven't run this by Baby yet. I hope she likes it.
So, this week has flown by, which is very encouraging. I was afraid that the time between my acceptance to Fuller and moving to California was going to drag, but fortunately it looks like I won't even have to resort to heavy drinking in order to make the next 56 days as INDISTINCT AS POSSIBLE.
On a related note, Baby and I have already begun packing, and we even RESERVED A TRUCK. I'm hoping we get a diesel. If anybody needs anything moved from the Unholy Triangle to Austin (or anyplace in between) on June 21, let me know.

Since I know you're sure to start blogging extensively about me at any moment, I'd like a NOM DE BLOG, too, please. I humbly request to be given the title, "Royal Defender of the Couch."
