Goodbye Townhouse
I closed on Friday, yay!
So many people asked me if I was sad, since I spent almost 10 years in my place. Not to mention the 8 months of renovating it every single day. I looked at my new bank balance after closing and could only think - No, I'm not sad. How could I be, I basically lived here for free and got paid a nice lump sum to leave :)
For those who do not already know, I will be staying in Dallas. It was a very odd turn of events that I will explain when I have more time.

Good luck to you! I'm glad your house sale worked out; the wife and I got rogered pretty good on our house...
That "house in a box" picture down below is pretty scary. It's amazing how so much of our lives can just be compressed into packing material...

Very scary actually, Michael. I would have never thought for a minute all my "stuff" could be put into a very small room.

I hate moving. H.A.T.E.
My usual strategy is to have a giant garage sale, followed by an equally giant bonfire.
I admire anyone who can deal with the stress of moving.

Yeah, it's pretty humbling to pack it all away like that...

Daniel, I cant say that I hate it but it is right up there with root canals, lol.
I had 3 garage sales and two big trips to Salvation Army, still there was a lot of stuff accumulated after 10 years in one place.
I had to laugh at all the vases. Apparently that was the gift of choice to me from all of my friends (last count was about 40 and ironically I am not a flower person :)

Yes Michael, it is a good perspective trick to see your "stuff" as it should be seen.

Staying in Dallas? YEAH! :) Let me guess, you're not leaving because of this WONDERFUL weather. I'm looking forward to hearing about your future...job, etc.
Congrats on the Israel trip - sounds awesome!

LOL, yes Steve, I love having sneaky thunderstorms around that flood the roads and leave tree crap everywhere! :)
