Today, we're going to load up a hired Zipcar with a few tools and essentials, drive up to Watertown to meet our agent, then drive to Cambridge to the lawyer's office, sit down with the sellers and sign a lot of pieces of paper, and seriously, actually buy a house.

I'll be out of contact for the rest of the day, unless our first action on arrival is the same as it was in this flat and we find somebody else's unprotected wireless network.
