I started the first of a series of house-sitting gigs today, so I have moved out of Crap Dormitory!
And I have discovered several new favorite things:
-my own full, well-lit, clean kitchen
-my own full, well-lit, clean bathroom
-ice (what is it about Americans and ice? Why do we love it so?)
-tv (even though there are only 4 channels, at least I can finally see the news again!)
-a backyard with a lemon tree and passionfruit tree
-a great patio
There is a latin/jazz band that practices across the street! They sound good, and it is nice to sit out on the patio with a glass of wine listening to them play. I think once I am settled in I may have to go meet the musicians!
And the dog I am also caring for is very well behaved. She is a border collie, like Lassie. Unfortuneately, since we got horribly lost on her walk today, I don't think she is going to help rescue anyone from any wells or anything. But, then again, you never know.

So was it you or the dog who found the way home?
I found the way home, but only because I stopped in a milk bar (convenience store) and asked where a major road was that would let me get oriented again.
oops... Lassie was a Collie, which is a very different beast from a Border Collie.
Either way, great dog.
D'oh! I'm not a dog person, so I didn't know...Thanks! But that does explain why we aren't saving the town or anything whenever we go out for walks.
