Hi. As of this morning, we are the official owners of a new house.
This is the front:
This is the view from the foyer:

This is the view from the back:
Things we like about our new house:
* the loft, which you can kind of see from picture 2 * the very nicely finished basement * the large size * the deck that connects from the second-story master bedroom, which gives us a great view of... * ...the golf course that abuts our backyard (see picture 4) * that it was practically ready to move in on day one (decidedly not the case with most houses we looked at) * that we can park both cars in the garage relatively easily (not true of our last home) * that our yard does not have a large hill on it (not true of either of our previous homes) * the very reasonable commute for Kim (only about 15-20 minutes in rush hour) * the disc golf courses one and three miles away * the Metra station less than one mile away * the nice little park four blocks away * that we're in the district of Adlai E. Stevenson High School, one of the three best non-magnet public high schools in Illinois (the other two being in areas where $1 million gets you a decent starter home) * that Benji likes it
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
