Quick Thoughts 2/27

  • Our house is going on the market today.  I’m nervous as heck about the whole thing, but I have a good feeling that things are going to fall into place. 
  • I bought the NFL Films – Chicago Bears – The Complete History DVD last week and watched the first disc last night.  It was a pretty good, and I learned a lot about the early days of the franchise that I didn’t know.  Disc two is all about the ‘85 Bears season and Superbowl XX.  I’d always wanted the NFL Films production of the ‘85 Bears and I had to get this DVD set when I saw that.
  • He just wanted to say “Good game!”
  • Some people at the medical clinic in my hometown won a pretty nice chunk of change in the big Powerball jackpot last week.  Winding up with $24k after taxes and a twenty-way split is nothing to sneeze at. 
  • Let’s try bringing the lyrics of the day out of retirement.  Today’s lyrics: “Just a few more hours, and I’ll be right home to you.  I think I hear them callin’…”

Good luck selling your house. It was kinda stressful for me, but then I was in a town of 1100 people (the largest in the county was 7000) so it wasn't like I really had some kind of "market" to rely on. (Also, I was just plumb pissed off about the whole thing, since as a result of my transfer I had to buy something smaller and crappier for way more money, and I didn't even get a big equity windfall on account of not being in my first place all that long...) My brother sold his first place in Rochester in precisely zero time, although that was a number of years ago...

Yeah, things have changed in Rochester now, but I think the market is still pretty good for "starter houses." I hope I can be as fortunate as your brother was. I suppose most sellers think they have something people will want, but I really do expect to generate a lot of interest right away with our house.

The song is... Beth by KISS! I remember listening to this song on the LP (yes, vinyl) when I was but a wee lad growing up in Iowa. I loved KISS. The makeup was kick but!

Maybe it was the makeup that we were missing in Vicinity.
