April 17, 2000 - Monday
Harry stayed with his aunt this afternoon while his mother, his uncle, and I all went out to see a local sporting attraction. She wanted to stay at our house in anticipation of expected phone calls from potential employers. Waiting for something that might never happen may sound awful, but today it paid off. She got confirmation of one job offer and, though she was trying to feed Harry a bottle when another call came, she secured another interview appointment at a different company, which she ran off to after we returned.

With a job offer in hand, aunt and uncle already had a successful trip. The other piece of the puzzle was an apartment and unfortunately there was no confirmation of the potential free short-term corporate apartment that might still be available with the first job. Still, all things considered, it was a good day for them.
