Having been justly chastised,

I guess it’s time for me to begin to catch up.  The problem with that is:  Where the hell do I start?

We have been very busy lately.  That is probably quite an understatement!  Our relocation plans have taken a serious turn toward “right now!” in the last few weeks.  After spending a week looking at property in some of the most beautiful parts of the USofA, we have stepped up our plans.  We actually made an offer on a house, but the offer was rejected in favor of a competing offer that was submitted at the same time.  We are going back next week after our trip to IU for the daughter’s opera.  Hopefully, we will find something else we want to bid for.

Closer to home, we haven’t even put our house on the market yet and have a good prospect.  Our next door neighbors are looking for a house!  They have been living with a parent next door to us since Katrina took their homes away in St. Bernard Parish.  They want to be close to him to assist with his needs, but haven’t been able to find anything close by.  They were flabbergasted when they heard we were going to sell our house.  Negotiations will soon begin(perhaps today!).

On the fun front, I have now joined the ever-growing group of Americans that own eeeeeeeeeevilllll black rifles.  I purchased an AR-15 in .223 but haven’t had a chance to shoot it yet.  I am waiting until I have the time to break it in right.  It is really a dandy piece.  When I figure out how to, I will post some pics.

OK boys and girls, back to the grindstone!
