It is -17F outside as I write this…. Today I sign the purchase agreement on my house. As of then, I have till March 2 to vacate the premises and put all my possessions into storage. 22 days to box up my entire life and put it in a garage. 22 days to tie up …
I got a buyer. I’m out in about a month.
Well, I got an offer on the house today. We have to negotiate a final price and such. I’ve seen so many business deals go south in my life that I’ve come to expect the worst. If something does happen, I could be out in 2-3 weeks. …then the fun starts.

I’m playing around with Google Earth. I’ve manually created a .kmz file for Google Earth that shows the locations I’m going to be visiting in the Pacific Island part of my trip. You can download it here. I eventually want to automate the .kmz file from the posts on the website, but I’m not sure …
I’m in Wisconsin right now updating on a dial-up connection at my parent’s house. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be shuttling back and forth between Minnesota and here moving boxes of books and other crap I’ve accumulated. The house has been up on the market for only a few days but it’s getting a …
