Yeah. I think we're going to do faculty housing at first, till we have a sense of what the area is like and where we want to live. It's hard for me, having grown up in Brooklyn and spent the last six years in the Boston area, to think of Connecticut as anything other than an enormous suburban obstacle between the two cities I want to get to, but I'm working on it. I'm figuring there might be work for me in Hartford (city of light, city of magic), which would be a reasonable bike commute. I'm almost 30 and I've never had to drive to work, so I'm a little bit scared *****less of the possibility. <sigh> The things we do for love.
