Days 23-35

Day 23 - a youtube video that makes you laugh.

This video is awesome. It makes me laugh and brings me back to my teenage years of trying to copy dance moves from music videos!

Day 24 - where you live

I live in the tiny town of Ayer, MA. Population is about 7,000. It's a nice, hard-working, blue collar community and reminds me of a smaller version of my home town. After pursuing art for my job, it's a relief to go home and meet people whose first question upon meeting you isn't "what school did you go to?" When we moved to MA from VT we went straight to the coast, after a year plus of living there and not making a single friend we decided to move somewhere a little more 'us'. I worked in the city at the time so we needed to be on a train line. We picked an area we liked and kept moving west along the train line until we found a town that fit our needs, i.e. price range for buying a house. We have made friends with our neighbors and love walking downtown on Friday or Saturday night to play pool (interesting to watch a pregnant lady play pool) or listen to live music. Even though we are currently looking to leave town, for more land and more house, I'll always have fond memories of Ayer.

So that's it. It's not terribly exciting. My job isn't terribly exciting but I like my life. Up until Stella died, things were simple. And I still try to keep things simple, but as you know, with a missing baby there is no simple anymore.
