The fabulous lives of the keen and nerdy

George Bailey wanted to travel the world. Sassy Tortuga wanted to move across the country. Neither accomplished said goals. But while one was stymied by family tragedy, the other was wooed by a certain nnearby and highly reputable law school offering freedom from shoddy part-time employment and student loans. Said school also offers exchange programs to trendy overseas locations so as to satisfy Sassy Tortuga's wanderlust. And she'll be around to see a certain two little girls start school.

The future looks very different now than it did just a few short months ago. This is me not complaining! I plan to use this freedom to mount an opposition to Facebook. I have yet to join Facebook. I am a Luddite and became highly distressed when Blogger forced me to switch over to Google just now. I might start etching my blog onto scraps of birchbark and tacking it up on a building somewhere rather than posting online. The geeks in my life would go into convulsions. But they'd get lots of exercise.
