Two things.
One, Michelle and I are in the throes of purchasing a home. We're excited about the place itself, and we know we've made a good decision, but there's a lot of crap down in which one can get bogged. We've received a lot of congratulations, but it's hard to fully accept them just yet. We close (Lord willing) on Friday the 14th, and moving day is Sunday the 23rd (sorry Lord).
Two, there's another series of videos on the Uncommon Knowledge site (the same guys that had the Andrew Klavan interview). They are now interviewing Ward Connerly. I've never heard of him, and honestly I haven't had time to even watch the videos yet (see point #1 above), but they look really good.

Wow---man, that's a big deal.
The first time I signed papers at a closing, I was all nervous and shaking and stuff. It was a very weird experience; a right of passage, if you will.
Good luck man--hope it all works out right, and that the move goes alright.
What part of town is it in?
Well, it's in a town called Sharon, which is a little further away from Boston than Newton is. You can Google-Map it to get an idea.
It's a really nice town. You pay for it in the property taxes, but... the overall cost/benefit ratio wound up looking favorable.
Thanks for the well-wishes. I don't think I'll be shaking at closing, but probably because, for whatever reason, it's very easy for me to just not-think-about the enormity of what's happening. Which is not always a good thing.
Michelle on the other hand... :-)
15 or 30 year?
Either one is a ginormously huge commitment. :)
It's the ginormous-er one. :-)
Hey Friend, that's really cool news! I remember that feeling of getting out of apartment life and it was a sweet, sweet feeling. Hope the move for you and Michelle goes well.
