| To Move or Not To Move...That is the question.
Should we stay in MD or move to SD?
I'm just starting to feel settled in here in MD... ...and we have to starting thinking about moving again.
So much to think about... cost of living, if I can find a job in SD (I have two jobs here now, plus private tutoring), finding a new church, making new friends, earthquakes, traffic, weather, buying a house...
The first couple of months here were pretty depressing for me - nothing to do, no friends, no job  Don't really want to go through that again. But I do hate driving around here, and I do like the SD weather.
I guess if I could bring my currently level of "settled-in-ness" to SD with me, it would be a lot easier to move. How to decide?

| better than the next...I just saw a TV commercial for Nutri-Systems (diet program). One lady said she got hooked after trying the first meal and that "... each meal was better than the next..."
Hmmm... doesn't that mean that the meals got worse with each one?
BTW, has anyone else seen a braking cow? Jeth and I were driving to work the other day and noticed a toy cow sitting on a tow-hitch on the SUV in front of us. Every time the car braked, the cow would shake its arms (forelegs) frantically. It was pretty funny. It made us wish we had camera phones so we could have gotten a picture or video of it.

| Wizards vs. RaptorsLast night Jeth and I went to see our first Wizards game at the Verizon Center. Wizards lost. Good thing about going to see two not-so-good teams play - can get good seats at a cheap price and at the last minute. We bought our tickets less than 24 hours before the game started

Hmmm... no thanks. I have to say, this one has better English than most other such spam/scam I get. When I posted an ad for tutoring on Craigslist, I had nothing but scam emails responding to it. When I responded to an ad requesting a tutor (a very normal sounding ad), that turned out to be a scam too. It's amazing how many people are out there running these scams... don't they have anything better to do with their time?
While I'm ranting... I just want to mention I don't like Maryland/DC drivers. I'm sure there are much worse places to drive, but this is bad enough for me. I want to go back and drive in Urbana again.
On a lighter note, Happy Easter Everyone! I get to teach children's Sunday school for the first time at my new church this Sunday... but it'll be a short class since we're having an Easter egg hunt for the kids.
