Home!

This is the first post from the new house. We moved in today, and while there’s still a lot of stuff in the mobile home and we’ll be carrying things over here for days, if not weeks, we now officially live here. It’s hard to believe that it’s only been a little over ten months since the wildfire destroyed our original house and my studio. That seems like a whole other lifetime.

I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who’s helped us get here. I’m not going to start listing names, because I’d be bound to forget someone. But scores of people – family, friends, total strangers – came forward to help us. People sent money and books. Some showed up with money, books, household goods, furniture. It was amazing. So thank you all for everything you did to lift us up out of the terrible situation in which we found ourselves.

The one person I will name is my beautiful wife Livia, who picked this family up, put us on her shoulders, and carried us to the point we are now: in a new home, starting a new life. Thank you so much.

Regular blogging resumes tomorrow. Life goes on. And thank God for that.
