Owen is here.

Owen John Evans - John John John to you English speakers out there - decided that he'd be happier living in DC and so he gave up the apartment he and his lovely fiancee shared in Somerville. She headed south to work and he moved into our basement until he could get out of his job here.

It's been nice having a boarder. He does light cleaning and housework, tends to the animals, and protects the basement from marauders while we sleep. If anyone else would like to move in before you head off to Washington, that's fine. Personally, I don't support people moving away, especially if away is so damn hot all summer, but I guess you're grownups, and I can't tell you what to do anymore.

You're going to have to make it on your own. Good luck, and don't say I didn't warn you.
