To get right to the point. Frugal Son GOT A JOB. Not a well-paid job, but a worthy job that will look good for the future and will give him a bit of time to see what he wants to do next.
He is working at a lycee in New Orleans, wonderful because he will use his French AND because post-Katrina, New Orleans has attracted the hippest 20-somethings anywhere. Also, Mr FS and I will be happy to visit him now and again: we saw him for 4 days once he returned from his year working in France.
The DECLUTTER EVENT: he will be living in an old half-double in New Orleans so he can take a lot of the excess OUT OF THE HOUSE. One of my friends remarked--apropos her first chronically unfaithful husband moving out and taking half the furniture: At least the house looks better. Our house will look better because of a happy event.
Anyone who knows a 20-something knows what I'm talking about in this long recession: he's lucky to have a job.

Congratulations to Frugal Son! And it's a Good Thing he'll be doing.
That's great. Congratulations!
That really is excellent news about the job. What happens when he moves and wants to bring the stuff back, though? :-)
Thanks Terri, SewingLibrarian, Joan, and Patience. He is so happy.
@Shelley--With the exception of a few cooking items, everything is to be given away-- and I don't think he's planning to come back!
yayyy! congratulations!
