A bit of a crossover post here…I’ve been asked how we found The Old Vic…well, here ya go!
Know Thyself…
A tale of how a motorcycle ride, in a completely unexpected way…suddenly took me home.

Just one more day…
In another 23 hours or so…we’ll be closing on The Old Vic…
Butterflies are holding an acid rock concert in my stomach. They brought all their friends!

Certainly uncertain.
He didn’t tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.

And I still don’t know.
The right thing?
The smart thing?
I’m never really sure. All my adult life, I’ve waited for that day…that time…perhaps that era, when I would know, really know, that I was doing the right thing.

Ooooo….*puff*puff*puff*gasp*
Just this morning we cleared the last of the hurdles.
I just went to the bank and got a “heap big” cashier’s check. We close next Monday morning at 10:30am.
My gawd…what have I done? LOL!

Er…wow?
Got a call today…my NEW bank…NOT “TIC” from the “Bank Job” post, called. It seems we’re ready to go on their part…just the title company stuff now. We should be able to close December 1. I’ll feel even better when I hear from the title company…but that’s really cool. The new bank (I’ll mention them [...]

Bank Job
Okay, I’ve given up on my bank…ya know…the one I’ve done business with for decades…well, not really decades, just ever since they “borged” all the other banks and credit card companies (and home loan and car loan) that I used to belong to.
My bank…let’s just call it “Three Initial Corporation” (TIC) used to be [...]

By the Gods…this is frustrating!
Trying to buy a house is like trying to pull teeth…from a Dragon…a fire-breathing one…that’s awake and has had no anesthetic…AND she’s crabby too!
Should be pretty simple…we need a bit of financing, our credit report and income/debts readily support/permit it, we’ve made an offer and it’s been accepted. We’re putting in excess of 30% down [...]

Economics
So, money’s tight…at least, that’s what the media and the prospective presidential candidates are striving to convince us of.
Many folks, including us, are tightening our belts a bit and doing our best to cut down. The news is downright scary. The stock market is down a bunch. Folks…GOOD folks, are getting laid off. 401 K’s [...]

Where Angels Fear to Tread
Something over 300 years ago an English poet named Alexander Pope said, “Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.”
I’ve always liked the quote…simply because to me, it means “No limits.”
Angels have no fear, you see.
I’ve always tried to live my life without fear. Mostly, I’ve succeeded. I’d like to think so anyway.
No fear. [...]

Going back…
About Saturday’s post…Yep, we’re going back to take another look.
Not sure why we torture ourselves so…
After all, if we weren’t looking, and didn’t find anything we liked in an (barely) achievable price range…then we wouldn’t be agonizing over decisions.
Hopefully, looking at it again will clinch things…one way or another.
I shouldn’t sweat the risk…after all, life [...]
