The Friday Five.
1. How many houses/apartments have you lived in throughout your life?
Let’s see: our house in Los Banos (I may have lived at the International Rice Research Institute staff housing for a little while while the house was being made), then Schuyler House (the old infirmary) in Ithaca, then to a couple of apartments also in Ithaca (first, when it was mostly a Southeast Asia Program house, and later, when it became a German Studies house), then right smack-dab in Filipino Central in Daly City, then to the Lower Haight in San Francisco, and now to the Outer Richmond — in fact, you can see the last three at an old blog entry.
2. Which was your favorite and why?
Probably the one I’m living in now.
3. Do you find moving house more exciting or stressful? Why?
It’s extremely nerve-racking. The last time we moved we had 200 — two hundred — boxes.
4. What’s more important, location or price?
Price.
5. What features does your dream house have (pool, spa bath, big yard, etc.)?
I want a big back yard for Izzy and Shelby and a deck where I can grill some meat and Madeline can put her feet up, sip a gin-and-tonic, and look out at a view.
