Transitions
My newlywed sister and her husband, Matt, moved back to Arkansas this week. They've been living, working, and going to school in New England for the last 9 years or so. After work last night, I went to help them unload their moving van into long-term storage. On the way out to the storage facility, we were talking about the Devil Queen.
Matt: "So are you really thinking about selling the Devil Queen when you're finished with her?"
Me: "Yeah."
Sister: "If you do, what will happen to the blog?"
Me: "I don't know. I've been thinking about that, but I'm not sure yet. I imagine we'll get another house. I mean we've got to live somewhere, right?"
Matt: "Wow. After all that work, what will do with all the time you'll have."
Me: "I don't know. I'm sure we can find new and exciting ways to completely fuck our lives up."
Everyone: [Pause followed by laughter]

Yeah, I've been thinking about selling the fortress when I'm done fixing it up (if that day ever comes). Since I don't want to do another remodel, I've thought about stopping the blog when I finish.
I don't blame you, but you might keep some incarnation of it around; you have some pretty entertaining non-house post as it is. Getting attacked by that damn swan is pretty hysterical (not that you probably feel that way about it).
wow
Yea, don't feel to bad. I have been planning the sale of the place folks said I was crazy to buy. Thing is that after 4 years the return on investment is going to be pretty crazy even in a soft market.
Also, I am moving the heck out of Milwaukee. Also, to heck with renovating I am building from scratch this time. Then when I run into something done way wrong I can only blame myself.
