The Anti-Jane Interview?Juan on Installing?Windows
Posted by theantijane on March 31, 2012 ? Leave a Comment?
Juan is the owner of Windows by Juan. He has a Certification in Sashes and Cranks (Cs.C) from the famed Tijuana Cinco de Mayo Correspondence School and has been installing windows ever since he eluded the Border Patrol last May. I sat down with Juan in his 1964 VW bus to find out what it takes for Anti-Janes to install windows in their homes or pueblos and when it?s best to leave the work to a children?s balloon twister or a captain who abandoned ship.
?
Q. ???Many women think installing windows is a project literally and figuratively over
their heads. Is this a misconception and if so, can you tell me how to get to
Sesame Street?
A.? ??Por favor. I need your hand in marriage. And a dried fruit platter. I am being
followed by the sheriffs of Maricopa County and Nottingham.
Q. ???If a woman wants to install her own windows does she need to know anything
at all about the Victorian age?
A.? ?We can escape to Park City where I have a time-share rented to me by a sensitive
drug lord. He has thrown in a ferret named Sven to sweeten the deal.
Q.?? Is it better to install energy-efficient windows, or the kind of windows that suck all
the energy out of your house and dump it in a black hole in space?
A.?? Our people are good. We gained independence from Spain in 1810, and we?ve
been making better paella ever since.
Q.??? What is the best type of window to install in hard-to-reach places like behind
appliances and your employer?s heart?
A.??? We?re also great soccer players. We beat Argentina in that World Cup match. They
cheated, and their girlfriends wore falsies.
?
Q.???? How do you decide what window frame material to use, and do you have to
clear it with your 12-Step sponsor first?
A.???? Our Aztecs were very advanced. They were the first civilization to develop apps.
Also, they invented towelettes and sold the rights to a disgraced cheese curd
mogul.
Q.??? You know, Juan, I?m afraid that we?re not shedding any light on windows
literally or figuratively in this interview. Can we switch topics and talk about the
weather in Myanmar instead?
Note to reader: At this point, a masked mariachi band burst into the VW and began to play ?La Bamba.? Being a cowardly anti-Jane, I hurled my digital recorder, as well as my body, through an open window. On the way out, I took measurements and texted them to the windows and doors department of a home improvement store in Lake Winnipesaukee. They texted back: ?We don?t do vehicle windows, freak.?
That was the last I ever saw of Juan who, when last spotted, was trying to elude the sheriffs of Maricopa County and Nottingham on the Space Mountain ride at Disneyland carrying a ferret named Sven and a dried fruit platter.

As a club that prides itself on tradition, Augusta National again is in the middle of a membership debate it thought it was done with nearly a decade ago.
Just seven days before the Masters, no less.
The last four chief executives of IBM ? a longtime corporate sponsor of the Masters ? have been members of the exclusive golf club in Augusta, Ga. The latest CEO of the computer giant happens to be a woman. Virginia Rometty was appointed this year.
One problem ? a woman has never worn a member's green jacket since Augusta National opened in 1933.
"I think they're both in a bind," Martha Burk said Thursday evening.
Burk, who spearheaded an unsuccessful campaign 10 years ago for the club to admit a female member, said Friday morning on CNN she fears Augusta and IBM will work out a "sham solution" to make the issue go away.
"The company has a huge responsibility here not to undermine its first female CEO," Burk said. "If they accept anything less than full member ? or resign their sponsorship, which is another option ? they're going to undermine their new CEO. And they'll be making a statement that they don't consider her an equal to her predecessors."
Still to be determined is how much traction the topic will muster going into the Masters.
Augusta National, through a spokesman, declined comment in keeping to its policy that membership issues are private. IBM did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment.
Rometty is said to play golf sparingly. Her greater passion is scuba diving.
Hootie Johnson, chairman of the club a decade ago, ignited the controversy back then when he said that while Augusta might one day have a female member, it would be on the club's timetable and "not at the point of a bayonet."
Burk applied pressure on just about everyone connected with the club and with the Masters, the major championship that garners the highest TV ratings. She demanded that four companies drop their television sponsorship because of discrimination. She lobbied PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem not to recognize the Masters as part of the tour schedule.
It didn't work. The protest fizzled in a parking lot down the street from the club during the third round of the 2003 tournament.
"We did raise the issue," Burk said on CNN. "If we had not done that, this would not be on the table now."
Not only is the debate back, this time it has a face ? Rometty, a 31-year veteran of IBM who has been ranked among the "50 Most Powerful Women in Business" by Fortune magazine the last seven years. Rometty was No. 7 last year.
The chairman of Augusta National ? and the Masters ? is Billy Payne, who ran the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. When he replaced Johnson as chairman of the club and of the Masters tournament in 2006, he said there was "no specific timetable" for admitting women.
The question was raised at the 2007 and 2010 Masters. Both times, Payne said membership issues were private.
Rometty succeeds Sam Palmissano at IBM, which runs the Masters' website from the bottom floor of the media center. According to a list published by USA Today in 2002, the three CEOs prior to Palmissano also were members ? Louis Gertsner, John Akers and John Opel.
As the corporate sponsors became the target, Johnson wound up doing away with TV sponsorship for two years at the Masters to keep the corporate partners ? IBM, Coca-Cola and Citigroup ? out of the fray.
Only IBM returned as a TV sponsor for the 2005 Masters. The others were SBC Communications and ExxonMobil.
Burk said it should not be that easy for IBM to hide if the debate gains momentum.
"What IBM needs to do is draw a line in the sand ? 'We're either going to pull our sponsorship and membership and any ancillary activities we support with the tournament, or the club is going to have to honor our CEO the way they have in the past,'" Burk said in a telephone interview Thursday evening. "There's no papering over it. They just need to step up and do the right thing.
"They need to not pull that argument that they support the tournament and not the club," she said. "That does not fool anybody, and they could undermine their new CEO."
Burk said she would not be surprised if IBM pressured Rometty to say she doesn't want to be a member.
"Really, I don't think it's her responsibility," Burk said. "It's the board of directors. They need to take action here. They don't need to put that on her. They need to say, 'This is wrong. We thought the club was on the verge of making changes several years ago, and we regretfully end our sponsorship to maintain her credibility and the company brand.'"
The debate returns just in time for one of the most anticipated Masters in years. Tiger Woods finally returned to winning form last week at Bay Hill and is considered one of the favorites, along with U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy. Eight of the top 20 players in the world ranking have won heading into the first major of the year, a list that includes world No. 1 Luke Donald and Phil Mickelson.
Now comes a sensitive issue that dogged the tournament a decade ago, and might not go away easily. Women can play the course at Augusta National, but cannot join the club or wear the Augusta green jacket, which is reserved for members and stands as a status symbol in business and golf.
Rometty could become a central figure in the argument over female membership whether she wishes to or not.
"We have a face, we have a resume, we have a title and we have a credible reason to do it that doesn't involve Martha Burk," Burk said.
Burk said she is no longer chair of the National Council of Women's Organizations. She had planned to step down until the first flap with the Masters began in the summer of 2002. Now, she said she runs the Corporate Accountability Project for the council, a project born from her battle with Augusta.
My husband ?lives? in the same city as me but works in an entirely different state. And no, it?s not a ?drive across a state boarder right up the road on the way to work? kind of thing. It?s more of a ?fly twice a week? kind of thing. So, naturally there is a lot of texting, calling and FaceTiming.
Are you in a long distance relationship? Oleg Kostour was. And that?s why he created Pair, the ultimate app to keep in touch with your oh-so-far-away significant other.
To put it simply, Pair is designed to serve as a hub for all communication with that special someone. After downloading the free app, Pair asks you who you want to pair with and let?s you send an email inviting them to pair with you back. You can even send a video invite if you want.
After your other half accepts your request you are up and running. You can text or send picture messages straight from the app. You can send drawings that you each contribute to.? You can FaceTime straight from Pair. Add important dates such as birthdays or anniversaries. Send each other ?Thinking of You? messages similar to Facebook pokes.
You can also share tasks with each other and check in at different locations to keep tabs on the other?s day. There is even a feature called the ?thumb kiss? when the screen vibrates if you both touch the same place on the screen. Overall Pair provides a unique way to keep in constant contact with a network of one, whether they are far away or not.
Pair is available free for iPhone with and Android version coming soon.
Would you use something like Pair to keep in touch with your significant other?

McDonald?s has been taking some heat over its continuing sponsorship of the Olympics. The fast-food chain recently announced that it would remain a top sponsor of the Olympic games through 2010.
The main charge here seems to be some form of hypocrisy. Critics suppose that there?s some sort of contradiction involved in a sporting event being sponsored by a fast-food chain. But there is, of course, no contradiction at all ? at least not for those of use who take both our sports and our junk food in moderation. True, a diet that includes frequent trips to McDonald?s (or Burger King or Wendy?s, etc. etc.) seems inconsistent with a lifestyle aimed at maximal athletic output. There?s a real conflict there. But few of us are aiming at elite sporting status, and relatively few of us (thankfully) make Big Macs a staple. Most of us enjoy both sport and junk food in moderation. For us, the occasional serving of greasy fries does absolutely no harm at all to our athletic aspirations. There?s no contradiction in loving, say, both a Quarter Pounder With Cheese and training for a Half Marathon. So there?s no inherent contradiction involved in McD?s sponsoring the Olympics.
And really, if anyone is to blame, it?s not McDonald?s but the International Olympic Committee, and/or whatever subcommittees or functionaries are assigned the task of signing sponsors. After all, it?s their supposed values, not the fast-food chain?s, that this sponsorship deal presumably violates.
But supposed value-conflicts aside: what about the effect of such the McDonalds/Olympics alliance on, for example, kids? Well, note to start that kids don?t watch the olympics much. As for the rest of us, well we need to come to grips with the fact that our economic system features certain warts. And one of those warts is that the freedom to buy-and-sell means the freedom to sell things the over-consumption of which is harmful. And the freedom to sell such things implies the freedom to advertise them. Is affiliation with McDonald?s jeopardizing the positive impact of the Olympics? So be it. Our system of free commerce is a system that brings with it enormous benefits, far more benefits than will ever be derived from one hypertrophied sporting event.
It seems to be a tiny disgusting when you are detoxing or cleansing. Your physique shows some signs that you have built up toxins. These toxins can affect your entire body fitness and health. There are occasions that you feel sluggish and really feel the stressful. Your physique may possibly experience continuous aching, diarrhea, constipation, and feeling of clumsiness. Rapid weight obtain and the incapacity to shed the excess weight can also be signs of getting toxins in the body. Moreover, the toxins discovered in the body are discovered and stored on your fat cells. For Americans who are taking the usual American diet program, a individual could consume 70 trillion garbage cans for every single cell.

2nd Place Finish at OPA London, Ontario Provincial Qualifiers 2010
Interview with Renee
Who are you?
My name is Renee Primeau. I was raised in Glencoe, Ontario. We also lived in a couple surrounding areas- our farm in Appin and a house in Wardsville. These are small towns that contain between 400 and just over 2000 people.
I have now lived in London, Ontario around 10 years.
I am a Personal Trainer, Holistic Lifestyle Coach (both online and in person) and have taken part in Physique Competitions and Physique Photoshoots since October of 2007.
I haven?t really thought about it before now, to be honest. My family lives close to here (about 30 minutes away), I went to high school here and moved here for college around the time I turned 18. In that time I?ve met a lot of people who are important to me, have become comfortable, and work has begun to expand here (Many clients are local).
We?ll see what the future holds but, as of now, I guess you could say everything I need is right here.
At what point in your life did you make fitness a lifestyle? What steps did you take to achieve this and what made you decide to make this change?
Over a couple years, I had begun making some pretty poor lifestyle choices, and decisions in many areas. These decisions had turned into some very unhealthy habits. I wasn?t happy with myself and what these habits were leading me to so I started to think about what I wanted to do about that. One of the things I came up with was to get a gym membership.
On February 25th, 2007 (I still have the old training journal I started on that day!) I signed up at Fitness Forum; it was right down the road from my new apartment at that time. A personal trainer weighed me, took measurements and checked body fat percentage. I made a promise to myself and to him that I would get my butt in there 6 days a week, follow a regime I had put together from some pieces of info gathered from the past, and leave behind any excuses. We then booked a 6-week assessment where numbers would be re-checked and compared to the start.
Over this 6-week period, it didn?t take long to fall in love with resistance training. I loved feeling strong and connected to my body.
I was also a smoker then, had started cutting down on smoking at that time, and eventually quit.
When it was time for my 6-week assessment, according to the methods used, my bodyfat percentage had not budged! AND my weight was still the same. I left the gym feeling very frustrated. But then, once admitting there were other areas of life that needed some changing if I really wanted to see and feel results, I began replacing some other unhealthy habits with healthier choices. The ?normal? staples I had adopted of Pizza, McDonald?s and nights filled with Vodka/Cranberries and partying were replaced with healthy whole foods, and doing a lot more of the things that actually mattered. I began spending more quality time with myself, my family and the other important and supportive people I was forming closer bonds with.
I would still have the ?cheats? but not more than a couple times per week, and times including alcohol were saved for special occasions/planned events.
This quickly became a lifestyle when I experienced how awesome I could feel, how much stronger I had become, and my body composition shifted like crazy! In just over a couple months after that 6-week check in, my body fat percentage had folded in half and it felt like my mind and body had awoken, and changed so much. It felt really amazing.
Who was, or is your mentor in the fitness industry?
I have had guidance and help from many really amazing people but my two main mentors/influences in the fitness industry are IFBB Pro Stephanie Worsfold and Carter Schoffer of Precision Nutrition and Body Transformation.
What was it like competing in your first show in 2007? What aspect made you fall in love with competitions?
I loved my first show. It was a fitness model competition in Windsor, Ontario and the whole time leading up to that day was fun. I was already quite lean before deciding on it, which helped make the prep relaxing, not too far off from my ?new-found normal? and just an all around awesome experience.
My Mom, Dad, Brother, Sister-In-Law, Coach at the time/great friend Stephanie Worsfold and a couple other friends came up to watch. It was awesome sharing that experience with them.
I fell in love with the learning behind each prep and the challenge. You become sort of a science experiment when it comes to training and nutrition changes, and especially with the final water and carb manipulations during the final week of prep. I always get so excited when trying out something new and watching my body?s reaction to it.
What is the most challenging part about prepping for a competition?
It can be time and energy consuming depending on the prep and the person. I found a few preps to be more energy and time consuming than others (especially the last two). This was probably the most challenging part, figuring out ways to manage time and energy so that a fair as possible balance with ?real life? and prep could be made. Like many other competitors, I still work, have other responsibilities and life doesn?t stop because a person decides to prep for a show.
Cardio is also not always a favourite, and this is often increased for me as the show date comes closer (as it is for many others as well). I would do the amount required, but it was a challenge some days, for sure.
Besides the challenges, what is the most rewarding part?
Getting through challenges is definitely rewarding.
It?s pretty cool how much getting through challenges in one area can have a positive impact on other areas, as well. I feel that I?ve gained a renewed sense of confidence from facing challenges and started to see that I really can accomplish anything I set my mind to.
There are still times where doubts creep up but, I believe, through a lot of these challenges faced, I?ve become a lot better equipped to recognize these doubts and push myself past them.
At what point did you realize you wanted to coach other competitors, and help assist them through their transformations?
A few years ago, my soon-to-be first coaching client, Meaghan Terzis was speaking with one of the trainers at Fitness Forum about looking into help for an upcoming shoot and possibly a show. He referred her to me, and Meaghan and I met up to go over her goals. I had never worked with a competitor before and hadn?t really assisted many people at all in a structured way at that point, so this was an exciting and new experience for me.
Meaghan has a beautiful and ideal fitness model physique, she is very dedicated and she has the determination/mind set to follow a structured plan to a T. This helped both of us learn so much from how her body reacted, what things seemed to work well, what didn?t and what to do better for next time. On show day, I loved helping her and the other girls backstage, seeing her on stage and sharing that excitement. It was so much fun to me!
More and more girls began contacting me and it has just kept growing from there.?
You?ve actually decided to take the step away from competing and focus soley on helping your clients? What was your reasoning behind that decision?
I don?t know if I?ll never compete again, but it didn?t feel like the healthiest decision or the most conducive to my goals and priorities anymore. I mean, I encourage the girls to find a healthy balance with training and nutrition, and a love/appreciation for themselves before starting the preps, or deciding to compete. One of the reasons being that, for the majority, stage shape is not realistic for an extended period of time, and you very likely won?t look like that all year. If you don?t appreciate who you are and how you look before getting into that sort of shape, the outcome may not be great after the shows/shoots are finished.
When I sat back and thought about it, I wondered if I had ever really given myself the chance to do that- to appreciate who I was without the idea of having a show or shoot on the horizon. Or, if I did have that healthy mindset at one point, I wanted to be sure that I still had it. I think it was a good decision to step back.
I also tend to go ?all or nothing? into shows. My focus is lasered in on that goal and, although I can juggle work and other things, I don?t give the focus to some of those important things that I started to think more about. I wanted to excel on a personal and professional level, and I realized to do that I needed to narrow my focus, and taking a break from the shows would likely be very helpful there.
How would you explain the title ?Holistic Lifestyle Coach.??
The word ?Holistic? can mean different things to different people so the title Holistic Lifestyle Coach may as well. To me, this means keeping site of the whole picture when it comes to assisting clients with healthy lifestyle changes and goals. Overall health/well-being, performance and body composition should all be seen as important.
Physique Competition preps are different in many ways than healthy lifestyle goals. During competition preps, there are some extreme aspects regardless of how you look at it. Water manipulation and getting down to unnaturally low body fat percentages are not healthy practices, and most people are not going to feel amazing throughout the entire show prep. But I feel a coach who keeps site of the whole picture (or views things holistically) aims to use the safest practices possible, is careful to think of the client?s health and well-being for the long-run (not just how great they look on stage) and maintains watchful concern for the client?s overall health and well-being throughout the entire show prep.
We came across you after featuring one of your clients, Rita Catolino. Who else are you currently, or have you helped make a name for themselves in the fitness world?
I have really been fortunate with the roster of girls I have worked with, and am working with now. There are numerous girls that are doing really well in the fitness world in their own way. A few have had great success in fitness magazines, more with the shows and in personal areas of life.
Some of the girls who have been successful in a public sense are Rita Catolino, Meaghan Terzis and Midori Rutledge. Rita and I have both worked with Midori. Rita, Meaghan and Midori are all regular features in Oxygen Magazine. Others have also been successful with shows, which is really awesome, but I don?t want to take away from the girls setting and reaching other great personal goals. These goals may not be as publicly seen, but they are just as important and it?s pretty incredible to watch these progressions and to be a part of them.
I think another important thing to note is that we all work as a team. Everyone plays a role in the support and success of the girls, and it?s pretty amazing. We all connect online, meet up for different workshops/seminars, workouts, yoga, etc., and I believe that the team atmosphere and support is so important for the success of many.
I love what we have built, and have a great feeling about where things are headed.
Some of your current clients have shows and shoots coming up. When and where are they, and how can we follow who?s competing?
Yes they do! Many of the girls are doing shows and shoots this season. The shows they will be taking part in are:
OPA Festival City Stratford Championships on April 14th
The Stephanie Worsfold Classic here in London on May 5th
The GNC Sudbury Championships on May 12th
The Ontario?s on June 2nd in Toronto as a part of the Toronto Pro Super Show
The OPA Nationals in August
The IFBB North American?s (dates and locations for Nationals and North American?s TBA)
There are quite a few exciting shoots, too and info on those will be posted as they happen.

If someone is looking to contact you for your services, whether it be training, prep or holistic lifestyle coaching, how can they contact you?
E-mail is best and renee@reneeprimeau.com is my address.
How many times a week do you go to the gym? What is your ?weekly routine? like?
It really depends on the goal and the program being followed at that time. Usually I am in the gym anywhere from 4-6 days a week, the programs change every 4-weeks, and I really enjoy being challenged and learning from many different types of training.
Right now I am completing mainly full-body workouts of both metabolic, or athletically oriented efforts, and ?real? strength training movements as a 4-day routine. These workouts are performed every other day and cardio is performed on 1-2 of the days in between. With this awesome weather I am really loving getting outdoors for some of that!
In a couple weeks I am beginning a new training block with Carter, and I am pretty excited to see what that looks like.
We see you?re now also an employee at Fitness Forum, which has been doing well since its opening in 1985. What makes it so successful?
Yep : ) I have worked out of Fitness Forum for about 4 years now.
Fitness forum is a different kind of gym. It is family owned and operated, the atmosphere is super friendly and so are the staff. We have members that have been there since Fitness Forum first opened (27 years ago!), and we all know each other.
It?s not just a fitness facility but a community, and I think this is what sets it apart, and makes it so special. Members range from young competitive athletes, to all ages of regular gym goers, to the elderly. Comments are frequently made from members about how welcome, comfortable and free they feel to do their ?own thing.? It?s a pretty cool place.
What is you diet plan like? What are your reasons for eating this way?
I am not really following a ?structured plan? right now. This is a weird experience for me after being structured for so long *laughs*. I just wanted to see if I could do that- maintain a healthy approach to food without being so ?food focused.?
I don?t think there is anything wrong with a structured plan, and think it may be a healthy approach for many and a great way to build new healthy habits, I just know that I?ve been food focused for a long time. It was like ?When am I going to get a chance to eat?? ?Where am I gonna be for my next meal?? ?If I don?t eat every 2 hours my muscle is gonna fall off and I?m gonna starve to death.? *laughs* Okay, that may have been a bit of an exaggeration but I definitely centered a lot of my days and activities around eating and wanted to change this.
I think we should plan to have good food choices on hand and to be sure we get the nutrients we need but my hardwired ?I NEED food at this specific time? mindset wasn?t really making sense to me, anymore.
Instead I am just following habits. Approximately 1 day a week, on a non-training day, I will complete a partial fast (anywhere from 4-8 hours after the time of waking) but, most days, my meals are spaced apart every few hours and amount to about 5 a day. I have a lean protein source with each meal, veggies (green and coloured) with at least 3 of the meals, healthy fat sources with 2-3 of the meals (olive oil and flax meal are used most frequently), clean carb sources (usually fresh fruit) timed earlier on in the day, and around my workouts. I don?t really think about specific counts of macronutrients, calories or anything else and, after a bit of an uncomfortable phase, I really enjoy living like this now.
?Cheats? are taken 1-2 times a week and usually include a desert, or a glass of wine with dinner, or a muffin during a coffee out with a friend. If I know there is a special event coming up, a friend or family member?s birthday, a special holiday, etc., I will save the cheats until then.
Maybe if I ever do decide to take body composition to another level again, or feel the need for more structure for some reason, this could change but, right now, this way feels awesome to me.
What are you plans looking forward?
There are a lot of exciting things in the works.
When it comes to work related plans, right now I am completing courses and taking part in various workshops/seminars (also career and future plan oriented).
I always want to keep learning, growing and improving. That will always be a part of my plans.
Do you have any final words for your fans, clients and the readers of Lions Den U?
Do what makes you happy, whatever that happens to be. Set your goals based on what you want for yourself and know that you can reach these goals.
Don?t limit yourself. Don?t base your beliefs on other people?s opinions, achievements or abilities. You have your own unique greatness to offer.
It really makes no difference what you?ve done, who you?ve been or where you are- You can make better decisions, and you can choose your way to the life you deserve at any time. We all deserve to know and experience that.
Thanks Renee!

A individual would believe that Christian debt consolidation companies are the most trustworthy sources to get assist for debt relief.

These companies were also penalized for advertising misleading and slick practices, as properly as charging debtors far more than what they make in fees. The Christian organizations, as you can see, are no distinct from anyone else in some instances. At the same time, these men and women are various, given that they are making use of a mechanism to shield their wrongful acts.
As a result, even if the debt consolidation organization claims to be a non-profit affiliated with Christians, be conscious that this does not mean that they will be truthful.

I'm interested but first I'd like to know:
1) How many characters are allowed? I have a tendency to rp quite a few characters. (Fluently.)
2) How often do we rp as humans? Will you be regulating the time period?

Member for 0 years
A max of 2 Characters
Humans can rp as often as they want. They could be heading out to a party and see a few awkward people heading to an abandon location i.e curiosity, or they could accidentally see the dogs transforming, or someone happens to find the abandon building. You know be creative on how you find out and interact with one or more of the dogs. Just be careful cause Jace might get ya.

Eek....this is a problem...
I've made a total of four characters: Three dogs and a human master. But I'm not sure of some things.
The human master is just a background character, for well, background purposes such as feeding etc. etc. so I'm not sure if I should have a form for them, or are they(or rather she) just background character because they are masters?
I made two main normal dogs, and then along with them a female dog that is crucial to the history of one since she is bred to him. Would it be ok if I at least included her in his form or something?

Well if you want you could do two of any of the characters.

My husband ?lives? in the same city as me but works in an entirely different state. And no, it?s not a ?drive across a state boarder right up the road on the way to work? kind of thing. It?s more of a ?fly twice a week? kind of thing. So, naturally there is a lot of texting, calling and FaceTiming.
