So here I find myself 10 weeks or so into the new job. It is still a lot of fun, I remain amazed each day how similar the actual tasks are to what I did for the big jet engine company. I like Huntsville, and am anxious for my bride to join me. Not as much travel right now, and that's okay with me too.
This business of trying to sell a house in Sugar Land, TX is frustrating. Everyone who looks at the house loves it, but still no offers. No complaints about the price either, so our real estate agent says don't lower the price.
A few weeks back, I moved form the Extended Stay Hotel to the basement of my friend Bob's new house. So the comments at work have been somewhat predictable, but humorous. We are sometimes referred to as Felix & Oscar, me being the latter. Other times I am simply the Troll, what with living in the basement and all. Makes no difference to me, as living here is infinitely better than the hotel. Bob and I get along pretty well, as we have known each other since 1974. Hard to believe that's longer than a lot of marriages.
Mary & I are looking forward to our next time together, which will be Thanksgiving week. Thursday the 18th, I fly to Houston, and the next day we fly together to Denver. That Saturday morning we will drive to Beaver Creek CO in the mountains and spend a week at a time share we exchanged for. Our friends Larry & Amy will join us for part of the week, and it should be a great time. It will be significantly colder than either of us have experienced in a long time, for fun at least, but that will add to the magic I am sure.
Maybe by that time, we will have some progress on the sale of the house. Wouldn't that be cool?
