I was just at the new house. If this place is supposed to close in late April or early May, these builders had better slow down. The electricity is being strung through the house and it looks like they have the outside all ready for stucco. Slow down! At this rate, they'll have the house ready for closing in March. That's not what we planned. The houses that are being built on either side of our house are at framing stage. We haven't received a call for our pre-drywall walk-thru but I wouldn't be surprised if we got that call within the next week. In the mid-time, I'd better continue working on sorting and tossing, sorting and tossing...but not my books.

Today's Little Bit of Trivia

The remains of more than 100 people have been shot into space by Celestis of Houston, Texas. They pack a small portion of cremated remains into a lipstick-sized aluminum container, load it into a NASA spacecraft, and blast it into an Earth or moon orbit. Timothy Leary and Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry both chose this after-death option. Cost: $995- $12,500.
