How funny.  For some reason, I thought that you had moved up north (i.e.,
Oregon or Washington).

Noelle and I were only going to visit the northwest, not move there.
We're still living in where-I-live.

Cool.

Well, now that I know that you are still living in the Bay Area, we'll
invite you to future dinner/BBQ parties/shindigs.  (We are fairly easily
accessible via public transit (BART -> bus), as it turns out.)

I didn't know you were involved in cohousing!  How cool.  We're interested
in it down here (Silicon Valley Cohousing), but it seems like no one in
the immediate where-I-live area is interested.  Unfortunately.

Good luck with all that!
