You've been driving 3 hours each day? *gulp* I've at least had the benefit of having about an an hour & a half of my commute on the train, so I could read or nap or whatever. I can't imagine driving it all each day! A lot of books on tape? Anyway, glad to hear that you'll be moving closer, and I hope your move goes as easily as a move can possibly go.

When does Yuletide kick off? I haven't seen any notices, although I doubt I'll be participating... Wouldn't even know what fandoms to request or offer! (And I'll keep you mind as a possible beta - thx!)
