In house news:
Young Mike of co-op fame has expressed interest, but we would still need a third person to sign with us. So I'm still in the market if anyone is looking/knows anyone looking for a place to live.

In Nepal news:
I leave Nepal to begin the second leg of my journey on Saturday. I've been inches away from tears for the last couple of days. The Tibetan family that took me in really feels like family to me. This country really feels like home. All the colors and celebrations and ritual have become second nature to me in the time I have been here. Ama-la took us to a beautiful village outside the city today where we could see the mountains. We had dal bhat as usual for lunch, but this time we ate with our hands in typical Nepali fashion. Tonight, we are having a girls night out and all going to Thamel dressed in traditional Tibetan dresses (chupas). I really wish you all could experience this place. There's really no way to explain how it has changed my thought process, you really just have to see it for yourself. Miki and I are already planning to come back as soon as we can afford to. I really feel like adjusting to "normal" life again is going harder than living in the third world has been.

I saw Young Mike last night and he mentioned the plan to me. He's not eager to have to move again, but is excited to hang with you, and Kela, and everyone.

I can't wait to see your pictures of Nepal. I've been really curious.

That's good. I hadn't heard from him in a few days and I was starting to worry that he had changed his mind.

When I get home, I'm having a party for everyone I can think of, and I'm going to serve Tibetan and Nepali dishes (veganized of course) and have a slide show of the trip running. This is of course assuming that I still have a house when I get home.

Speaking of which, I know you are still reeling, but do you think your puppy would be interested in a room in my house? If you get along with him, I'm sure I will to and it is a good place to live if you work at the co-op because of the proximity.

Well, I know he needs housing *immediately* (as in tonight is his last night in his current apartment). I hadn't mentioned your place to him (or mentioned his apartment hunt to you) because Young Mike gave me the impression that housing in your house was not available until late June or mid July.

Nevertheless, I just texted him re: your house and said I would ask after details. Any chance it might be available sooner?

(as an aside, I know he was looking at places yesterday after work, so this whole conversation may be moot)

And thanks! I think you would get along with him. He's a quiet and polite Midwestern boy.

it can be available. 412-512-2842 is Nigel's number. You can have him call. The third roomie moved out early, so I'm sure Nigel wouldn't mind someone to cover some utilities.

Cool. I printed out the info and passed it along.

Now maybe The Puppy can get Nigel to give those spoons back ...
