and to be fair, her response on The Today Show:
"Personally, my friends and I, we know exactly where the United States is on our map. I don't know anyone else who doesn't. And if the statistics are correct, I believe there should be more emphasis on geography in our education so people will learn how to read maps better."
(ok, so that wasn't really fair. or much better. but hey! it's a plug for geography!)

homey-oh-my-oh
so i made a not-very-serious, not-promise (statement of intent?) that i'd be a homeowner by age 40. i'm neither yet (phew). but have started some of the legwork, and am finding myself boggled and overwhelmed, but also exhilarated at the prospect.

we had a little meeting with a broker (whoa) and it was very illuminating. turns out that i don't have to live in a falling-down-shack, but i probably won't be returning to ess-eff to stay. but heyyyy, it's a big dang bay, and i'm really grooving on the shorts during summertime thing. so it's not sucha bad trade-off. funny thing was, the broker was asking us questions like how long we thought we'd be in a place and so on, and to paraphrase hacker, if i can afford anything in the bay, i'm thinking you'll hafta bury me in it!

in the meantime, as with all impending change, the existing sitch becomes all the more dear. so i'm finding myself wandering through chinatown, the warehouses, and the waterfront, trying to get my fill of what i'll soon have to give up. guess appreciation's always a good thing, even when it's a bit premature.
