documenting this, for future reference & my excuse for not being able to allocate as much time to art these days as
i'd like...
wow... boy was that close!
jen & i were scheduled to do our final walk
through on a brand new ~ half million dollar home last
friday, and close on
halloween. oddly enough, besides a bit of
persuasion from my good
buddy rob, it was GEORGE BUSH that really nudged me towards reason- do you want to know how?... he said DON'T WORRY!... so i worried- just in the
nick time! i'm not blaming it all on him, but isn't it amazing when ANYBODY [let alone the president of the united states] has ruined what [little] credibilty they had, so much so that you're inclined to DO THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT THEY SUGGEST?
here are a few links that also helped
jen & i make up & solidify our minds on the subject...

Internet, no 24-hour news to... let us to know worry... times are crazier than
i've even seen- it doesn't even seem to be a good time to buy a new TV these days, let alone a new HOME!!
eegads!
we'll begin seriously looking again in the first quarter of next year, more than likely in the same area [capitol hill/
madison valley area], but will hopefully be spending considerably less... for considerably more;)
ps. i promise that the next update will be chocked full with art!
