New beginning

We cannon-balled into creating this blog with much pomp, fanfare, and rioting, a veritable donnybrook of excitement; yet after a few pithy entries, left it to stale. My only excuse besides the vie between craziness and laziness, not to mention my natural propensity toward lackadaisical sybaritism, is that our computer began to suffer a degenerative disease and subsequent mental breakdown which landed it in the emergency room, quailing at the cusp of its mortal(i.e. useful) existence. "There's a cure," says the geek squad, and they've taken it to a fresh-aired resort & spa, so it can convalesce in peace.

We've been house shopping. Yes, house shopping. I love looking at houses. It's an exploration in the wild every time. We made a bid on one great house that looked like an old person exploded inside after buttering an inch of tobacco stains unto the walls. It was quite spectacular. We didn't get it though.

We did just win the bid on another house. So now we have to figure out all that we have to do. We hope to keep a record of any renovations we do if we get it. We'll tell you more about it later.

We are going to attempt again to do a better job of updating this blog. Enjoy.
