That's a lot of balls in the air, David! I hear often that the real estate market is poised to open up a lot more buyer opportunities in the coming months. Inventory here is still very limited. Patience is a challenge when things being settled and a plan in place is so much more satisfying.
Reminds me that we really need to do as much prep in advance as possible so we don't leave the business and houses and anything else up in the air for people to deal with. After we deal with the house being sold then we can work on getting the business in the best condition for selling that since it is obvious that the kids don't have any interest. (both have expressed that they embrace the set hours and paycheck model and want nothing to do with the hours and stress involved in owning a business. I get it. So many of my doctors hear the same thing from their kids. Doctor's hours, forget that noise.

I still haven't tried Wordle. Maybe in the summer when things are less hectic.

Well, I hope Mr Wardle got a good pile of money. I expect it will disappear behind a paywall or get a bunch of ads or something before too long. Alas.

Uggh yeah, I hope it’s not behind an additional paywall—I already pay for the NYtimes but don’t pay for additional game subscription or cooking subscription and it kind of annoys me they want me to pay even more. Hmph.

I used to have just the game subscription but it was really kind of pricey for something I didn't need and couldn't even keep up with so I gave it up.

Yeah, I subscribe but don't pay for the extras either. I got the cooking newsletter when it was free. I only do the daily mini crossword for that reason too.

Although possibly having it disappear behind a paywall will be less sad than having interest in it just dwindle over time. I do enjoy the whole thing so much right now, though.

I do think we'll see the right place if we can hang tight for a few more months. We keep seeing places that are close but not quite it.
