New Neighbors/Wallingford Rules

As you likely know, I moved into a house in Wallingford with Claire, Deirdre and Sarah RV at the beginning of July. We knew many an Ultimate player was in the neighborhood, and I was already quite happy here after my year on Stone Way, but my friend supply has recently expanded even further.

My Shadrach teammate Sarah Mc moved five blocks away at the beginning of the month. Huzzah! And then, this weekend, Amber Corfman, Liz Kassoff, Matt Kassoff and AC Scott transferred their material lives from nearby Fremont to a lovely blue house not two blocks away. If I could just cut through my neighbor's backyard, I think I could get to their house in under 30 seconds.

Further sweetening the deal is the transplantation of one Zak Andree, HMC CS '04 like me and drummer extraordinaire unlike me, from Boston to that very same blue Seattle house. I saw Zak for an evening last week when he was in town for an Expedia interview and had the chance to meet his future housemates. Coincidentally, Zak and I will be flying from Boston to Seattle the same day, September 5th---I am soon heading home for family time and vacation.

Word on the street, or IM on the tubes as the case may be, is that Matt Ferlo is heading from Socal to Seattle in September, hoping, like Zak, to procure one of the many tech jobs in King County. I used to call Matt and pester him regarding such a move quite regularly but apparently my inaction and his own faculties were more effectual. Who knew? I will now call and prod Matt to ensure he lives in my section of Seattle.

I am quite excited for all this activity and friendship in the area. Perhaps, when the Ultimate season has ended, I will actually have time to spend with all these people. Go Wallingford!
