Catching up

Well, finishing up another week here in Palm Springs. My schedule at Virgin is one of the best I’ve ever worked … back at SFO, I work five 12-hour days, then get nine days off. Gives me plenty of time to drive down here to be with Jack, who’s here full-time now, and once Virgin resumes flying down here in October, it’ll be even easier, with just booking myself a seat and hopping aboard a plane. (We do have reciprocal travel agreements with other airlines, but it’s more involved to book seats on them.)

Back in SF, our house is now rented, and while I’m up there working, I stay at a nearby friend’s spare bedroom, as part of a room exchange. When he wants to come down to the desert to relax, and when his own house is rented out down here, he’ll stay with us. It’s working out fine so far.

In July we’re heading back east to Bear Week at P-town, and also see Jack’s relatives in upstate NY, whom he hasn’t seen in six years. Hope to also see a bunch of LJ friends while we’re back east, like jarlsberg71 and quirkstreet and greatbearmd. As usual, we’re sharing our house in P-town with Joe and Bill (bearbeat), and new roommates Ken and Jon.

And that’s about where we stand right now.

Great work schedule, with a “vacation” every other week.
Jack down here full-time, programming from home.
House in SF all fixed up (finally!) and rented out, to a nice couple of bears.
Have a place to stay in SF when I’m there (and it even has a view of the ocean).
Vacation coming up next month.

Life is sweet! We’ve been very blessed, and we’re very grateful.
