April 15, 2000 - Saturday
Harry's maternal aunt and uncle are in town again and will be around much more in the near future. Uncle Ben has accepted a job in the area and they will be moving to our metropolitan area. They arrived two days ago in hopes of securing both a place to live and a job for Harry's aunt and yesterday she had a very successful interview. She said she was virtually offered a job at the high end of her expectation curve, plus the possibility of temporary housing in a corporate apartment, with the caveat that the offer needed to be "checked with one person" before it was official. Seemingly an ideal situation, they nonetheless fought complacency and went out today looking for other possible apartments. She has another interview, and a potential second, early next week at other companies that would likely not offer similar housing.

While they were out looking for housing, Harry's mother and I took the opportunity to do the same. Living in the city has been extremely convenient, but neither of us is particularly interested in living here permanently and Harry is the excuse we needed to find a new home in the country where he'll have room to play, to run, to bike, and maybe have a dog.

We we drive, Harry has to sit in the back seat and because he is still less than 20 lbs, he must face backwards. In order to see him, I've place a mirror behind him that I can see if I look in the rear view mirror. It works like a charm: that is I'm usually charmed looking at Harry staring out the window watching the world go by.
