update

Wow, haven't used this community in a while!  I was thinking about goals and such and realized that this is still one of mine.  Now that Kris lives with us, the list from my first post has changed somewhat.  We'd want more bedrooms, though the common areas wants similar.  I dont' think I'd care about an air hockey table anymore.  I would want to put in a home theater though, with couches on tiers toward the TV for watching movies & tivo & such.  I think that would be pretty cool.

I need to find a profession that I can do from home so that keeping close to bus routes ceases to be an issue for me.  Then we might actually be able to find something affordable, since many of you seem willing to drive/carpool.
