    I am SOOOOOOO thankful to the CVS employee who picked up the bag containing my drivers license, debit cards and a couple of other important things that I accidentally dropped there, and even looked up the phone number I had on file there (unfortunately for me, a number that I don't often check the messages on). She said she couldn't accept a reward, maybe I'll send some flowers. PHEW!!!!

    I left my phone in the stacks a couple of nights ago, thankfully a student found it and turned it in, some wonderful folks in this world.

    I am so thankful that our realtor's crew has done a remodel of our old condo. It'll be on the market next week. We fully expect some good offers and hope for a smooth close.

    I am thankful for our new home and that Knott was able to find such a nice spot for us to land.

    Asking? Heh, heh. We are going to have a bidding war; ground floor, end unit, with own garden space and bike parking, on the Burke Gilman (watch the trail from the kitchen), walk and bike to anything including Seattles two new light rail stations, a country cottage feel in the big city, walk to Magnussen park, Beaches and trails, Children's Hospital, Seattle's best neighborhood eateries ... It's gonna be fun. We bought low and expect to do fairly well.

    If you know a cyclist, kayaker or runner in Seattle who is looking ....and I don't think crazy neighbor lady will bother them.

    That's awesome. Living in NC most of my adult life, bidding wars for real estate are pretty much unheard of. If we get 10% below asking, we're happy. Sad, right!? Lucky you!

    I'm thankfull for our realtor. He is very smart. I think he'll find that sweet spot and price it right. Too low and folks wonder "what's wrong with it?". Too high and they don't look. Juuuust right and it gets interest. That's what we're hoping for.

    Well, if you know anybody. There goes the anonymity of the internets.
