There aren't really any major updates ...but I had to write something so that the terrible pig drawing would not reign supreme on the top of the blog anymore.
We have been trying to work fitness back into our schedules. Not long after moving here we found this fantastic fitness trail in Golden Gate Park. If used regularly, it can make us into true champions... the "used regularly" is where I struggle the most. Actually that's not true. The hills on the way back from the park are where I struggle the most.
Along with gradually resolving our varying states of inactivity, we both have been moving forward with our personal blogs. I am working more furiously at getting mine up and running, due to that little thing I call "playtime". . . others call it "unemployment." I am hoping to include works in progress, finished illustrations, sketches, as well as my thoughts and processes of individual works. Chris transferred his old site to his updated one, so you should be able to pick up where you left off:) Anyways we hope that you check them both out sometime, and always feel free to leave comments! Here are the links to my blog and Chris' blog, which can also be found with the rest of the links at the top right of the page.
As Chris talked about in the previous post, we had visitors recently at the lovely Hav-Wartz bed and breakfast. Be sure to book your visit soon because the vacancies are filling up. Your stay will include easy beach access, cable tv, plently of ethnic food, a queen size air mattress or couch depending on preference(Jason highly recommends the couch), and some fun experiences with public transportation! If you come bearing gifts, we can add a continental breakfast to your stay for free... call today!

Further Developments
The big news: Kitzzy and Jason were here this week. Jason is still here for MacWorld. We did some things.
The gory details: read on.
There has been some polarizing in the photography community in our apartment. By which I mean, Kacey takes all the photos, and I don't take any. She is committed to taking at least one photo every day this year and posting the results on flickr. See, I was trying to be punny when I titled the post 'further developments.'
New Year's was uneventful, which was kind of relaxing after scrambling to acquire items from craigslist after Christmas. Our energy level/available time/interest in posted items had hindered even modest furnishing of our apartment since we got here, and we were determined not to pass up this opportunity while I was away from work. We got a couch, a file cabinet, and a small dresser. This may not seem like much, but it was kind of our crowning achievement of the break: there is now somewhere to sit in the living room other than camp chairs, and we finally emptied most of our boxes from the move. This really only leaves two boxes of art supplies, which I'm not sure we really have room for anyways, or much reason to have readily available as we do most of our stuff-making on the computer lately. We also picked up a new rug. The acquisitions, in addition to actually cleaning up the place, meant that when Kitzzy and Jason arrived on Friday night, and Kat and Ray came over to join us all for dinner, we actually felt like human beings capable of having friends over, instead of bewildered creatures clinging together trying to stave off the cold. We didn't happen to get any pictures of any Kat and Ray's chocolate-smeared toddler or Kacey's experimental peach pork that night, but we took some pictures with Kitzzy and Jason over the subsequent days, which of course you can see on Kacey's, Kitzzy's, or Jason's flickr.
Kacey and I decided a month or so back that we would wait for Kitzzy and Jason's trip to do some of the more touristy things here. So in three days, we walked on the Golden Gate Bridge, drove on Lombard Street, took a ferry to Alcatraz, and saw the sea lions at Fisherman's Wharf. And I had a sourdough bread bowl full of clam chowder, which is probably more significant than everything else that happened. Because it was delicious. Kacey went to the Academy of Science with them, which apparently was a good time. But I doubt it can stack up against the chowder.
