My ex-landlords from Berkeley...

Have relocated down under.... to Sydney! Halfway across the globe from California... Got a Happy New Year email from my ex-landlady Tonya today, which contained well wishes and a link to their 'family website'. That was how I found out that they'd moved... A couple of months back, I thought I'd completely lost touch with them, since they never replied an email I sent half a year back. I guess they were just REALLY busy with moving and settling down! Kai is now 6 years old, looking very handsome (he has also graduated from kindergarten and was apparently recognized at graduation for his creative writing and "passion for communicating with others") I am not surprised at his achievement, since he was indeed one of the most articulate and brightest kids I knew. His sister, Ani, is 1... and looks very very sweet. Their family website also contains many family pictures (mostly of the kids though) and totally emanates this family warmth and xing4fu2-ness... And somehow fond memories of the family just came back to me all over again. Though I was never THAT close to them, they were all great housemates. I never once regretted visiting 1230 Josephine St after seeing their room-for-rent ad on Craigslist ;)
