There'll Be Some Changes Made

All six of my regular readers have probably noticed a slowdown in the pithy drivel for which Transitional Fossil has gained great fame. Mrs. Archaeopteryx and I are moving into a home in the town where I work--until now, we've maintained two residences, one in Little Rock, and a small place near the university where I teach, a hundred miles away. We'll be living together for the first time since I began graduate school, eleven years ago. The move is cutting down on the time I have available for bloviation, and Mrs. A. assures me I'll be unpacking our collective possessions (mostly books) for weeks to come. In the meantime, enjoy these pictures of our new home. We're quite happy with it; it feels like we're moving into a state park.

Good grief!

Stop reading my mind.

Exactly where am I supposed to go for pithy drivel now?

Archaeopteryx said...

Cat--it is in the city. That's part of what makes it so cool. We're buying the place from a botanist, who recognized the value of, um, botany.

Mike--It'll be great for me. I can't guarantee it's the best thing for her.

Scratcher--The pithy drivel will return soon enough. Or perhaps, too soon. Depends on your viewpoint.

You can still do some quality blogging from the doghouse. Trust me on this.

The place looks totally fabulous. I'm jealous.

Catnapping said...

Dude, if I am ever in the neighborhood, you are so getting a call.

I'll bet you've got a futon in the office for people like me, don't you? Hmmm?

[That's a hint, if you don't.]

Archaeopteryx said...

"Futon in the office?" Why don't you just bunk in the guest house?

That sounds funny, even to me.
