Lydia and I moved to Maine in January, 2007. Lydia has an internship at the Marine Animal Lifeline, which rehabilitates injured and sick seals. She sometimes has to handle the seals to clean their pools or take blood; apparently they are a handful. Lydia describes the baby seals as “40-pounds of squiggling slimy flesh.”

While Lydia is working, I’ve been mostly working on web design and doing my own research at coffee-shops and such. This is good experience for Lydia, but I think we’re both ready to move somewhere for good and get steady employment until Lydia starts vet school.
