I’m sorry to my readers for my noticeable absence/lack of posting to this blog.  I’ve tried to keep the news section filled with some goodness, but that’s about all I’ve been able to muster of late.

Those of you who know me personally know by now that I’m in the process of buying a house in East Rochester.  In fact, we are slated to close the deal on the 28th of this month in what can only be described as a whirlwind tour of the real estate market, having gone though the entire process in a rare twenty eight days.  Most of the legwork for this transaction has been done by myself and I am eternally grateful that this process happened in February when the workload at my job is relatively light.

All of this is to say that I’ve had barely any time to think of anything other than banks, lawyers, inspectors, furniture, carpets, movers, moving fish tanks, switching cable, switching gas and electric, scheduling trash pickup, setting up water, filing change of address, offers, counter-offers, stipulations, taxes, forms, signatures, paperwork, rejected paperwork, more rejected paperwork, and the magic words “cleared to close.”

Huff!  My wife and I have not eaten anything that didn’t come out of a box, bag or restaurant kitchen in the last month.  That being the case, it’s a wonder I’ve been able to post anything at all.

Next month will be better.  Thank goodness my other blogging friends on this network have been helping out!
