Banner and general stuff

Can you believe it is already April? I can't. Taxes are due in less than two weeks, the first quarter of the year is over, and the threat of the coming Christmas shopping season is causing some of us, not necessarily me - sorry, Darr - to cinch up our wallets and become miser-like in our spending habits. With all of the hubbub it is a tad easier, perhaps, to excuse the late arrival of this month's banner. For the three of you who regularly read our blog, you have my sincerest apologies.
Things happening this month? House hunting. After a call to the Admissions office that confirmed the typical schedule of a first-year law student - Monday through Friday, anywhere from 7am to the last class that starts at 3:30pm - we didn't have to think about the daily commute from Portland to Salem long before considering the option of buying a place that would lessen the amount of time on the road. Thanks to our friend, Sara, we learned that Wilsonville has a very reasonably priced monthly bus pass with a stop about a block away from campus. This means, since I have grown accustomed to reading in moving vehicles, that I could potentially gain study time when riding to and from school. Nice. We shall keep you posted. The house we are currently reviewing in Lake Oswego, or rather an unincorporated piece of land just outside city limits, is not, um, great. But the land on which it sits is quite abundant. And after perusing Dwell, Sunset, and Portland Monthly for the better part of the afternoon we have come up with several interesting ideas in which the little home could be upgraded.
