There goes the neighbourhood...?
At some point on this past Tuesday, our house officially went "on the market." After ten years, we've made the decision to try to move closer to the city and to a larger home. The last month has been a blur of activity and progress towards that goal. We are fairly ready and have received good feedback from our realtor. She thinks the house is quite "sell-able" and that we should get offers soon. We'll see...
Here are the things we've done to get ready to sell (and then buy, but more about that later):
1) Mindset- we are a mean, lean get-this-place-cleaned-up-so-we-can-sell-it team,
2) We've worked together on this. Its nice to have a project (other than making a wonderful life together and producing a raising two human beings).
3) There has been a massive amount of stuff thrown out.
4) There has been a massive amount of stuff put in a self-storage locker (boxes, etc.)
5) I have done some touch-up painting in the bathroom and in the entryway.
6) Our septic tank has been emptied.

7) I pressure-washed the siding and windows.
On a really positive note, there was a family that asked for a private showing even before the sign was up (last Sunday). Nifty!
More later about where we'd like to go...

Stranded Norwegian PM using iPad to govern | iLounge News
This is why I urgently need an iPad. How the heck am I ever going to govern Norway without an iPad to help me?

Our life this April
April has so far been a busy but wonderful month. Last weekend we drove about four hours on Saturday to see my aunt before she moves to Ontario to live. At 93 years-old every visit with her is something very special. She’s my Dad’s older sister and has served as a de facto grandmother for his side of the family. Happily she’s lived the last seven years with her daughter and is going up to live with her son “because if I’m there for seven years, I’ll be 100!”
Last Saturday night held a delicious and meaningful dinner with cousins and their spouses, some whom I hadn’t seen in 15 years. It was great.
The next day (Sunday) we spent the day with Super Mom’s youngest brother, his wife, and their too cute to actually be real daughter- our one and only first cousin! She is the beautiful child who makes me Uncle Binky.
The only down side is that we over-estimated the feasibility of five of us stuffed into my dad’s Saturn Aura sedan. Oh well… Live and learn (easy for me to say- I wasn’t in the back seat!).

BBC News - Outrage at anti-Semitism comparison by Pope preacher
This is absolutely outrageous and a good reminder of how likely we are to see any contrition from the Vatican...
