So sorry to hear the news about JZ's dad's house.
I swear, one of these times, you're gonna wake up in a coma.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I"m so sorry for JZ. On top of everything else this year, this is just too much.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
JZ, David, I'm so sorry. That's heartbreaking.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
JZ and her brothers just had a conference call. The insurance has good coverage for the house, surrounding property and items inside.
So they will probably just fix the roof, strip down the inside and sell the property as is. The view and surrounding property is extremely desirable (you can see SF, the entire Bay and both bridges), so some rich tech dude sitting on a pile of money will probably snap it up as a project.
Not ideal, and a headache, but maybe not a big financial loss.

Let's be thankful for whatever small mercies come to us in difficult times.
Also someone might see an ideal opportunity to pick out their dream house details.
All my sympathies to the House of Zmayhem.

Let's be thankful for whatever small mercies come to us in difficult times.
Amen. I'm just so sorry this year isn't over yet.
