Hiya! Hope all’s well with you and it’s been good things keeping you occupied beyond these environs. I’ve considered moving, a time or three, though I dread the very idea; just in books I’ve more than 3,000 items. Including the LEGO — it’s gotta be a million or more!

So, I’ve been in my “starter house” for eighteen years, now; just accumulatin’ away. Oddly, the economy’s gone so far south, if I sold today, after I’d paid off the remaining mortgage I’d net just about what I bought it for last Century, which — in today’s dollars — is little more than a middling downpayment on anything that would constitute “moving up.”

It all’s startin’ to give the term “starter house” a different flavor; sort of like “the house where you live out your temporal existence prior to entrance into your eternal dwelling.” At least I won’t have to pack.

You can live in your car, but you can’t drive your house!

Speaking of moving, shouldn’t the UT have moved? Not that I mind ... if we stay here long enough, I might find the Topic or Bill’s iPod.

I dreamed that Frank told me where it was, but I can’t remember what he said.
