In other news, I recently moved to Bend, Oregon because it is quite possibly the best place on earth and just breathing the air here is like huffing joy and celebration. The bad news is that I’ve been busy using my shriveled, little t-rex arms in a mismatched battle with heavy boxes and furniture.

This is really, really, really cool… but about the time this was going on, there was a bit of a security flap on. And yes, it’s for T-Mobile. If David and I get serenaded by a flashmob like this, though, we’d be totally amazed!
