Funk Babblings

Yesterday was a minor milestone for me: I turned 32. The main celebration is a getaway weekend with nontacitare starting in a couple hours, though we did have a friend over last night, and I took today off work. (Missed the Bob Mould show at the Grog Shop last night, but I'd rather hang out with people I care about anyway. In fact we've almost made it a tradition for me to spend time with nontacitare on nights I was originally planning to go to a show.)

Today was another milestone: I renewed my driver's license (yeah, a day late). No big deal, right?

My old license had my Columbus address. My license now has my Canton address. You may not think that's much of a milestone, but the key is that I've lived in Canton for three and a half years, and have resisted signs of "permanent residence" here. The first crack in that resistance was gaining friends here close enough to miss if we (or they) left. A major crack came when I took a job here three months ago with long-term prospects. And now for the first time my driver's license says I live here.

If we buy a house here then it gets really scary....
