Mary, Boston is about an hour from Portland so I hope you wil visit! Lots of great music here; a coice of sessiuns every night and the singer's club on Wednesday nights!

I am moving myself later this month (that house-buying thing I mentioned will happen, but not for a few months; my partners in purchasing are going to go live in London for the summer). I will be in a lovely 2 BR in Jamaica Plain (about twice as big as the place I have now) so you would be most welcome to visit.

good luck with the cats...that is always the toughest part. Readjusting the little buggers. They hate change.
