I'm up, I'm up - six and a half hours of sleep. May go back to bed once I've placed the book order.

Thanks, Jane!

Around 4:45 my brother Randy called. We got a cash offer  on the property. I told him to accept it, but he was upset that it was a lot less than the $750,000 he and Macbeth, against my wishes in 2007, turned down.

I said it was time to stop the property taxes and accept the offer. He said he would call Macbeth md see what he thought.

So, fifteen minutes later, just as I finished kitty cleanup, he called back to tell me he didn't accept the offer.

Sorry, Elmore. I was hoping you'd have a sale.

Before I could start yelling at him, he said he had countered with $40,000 more to their offer, and they asked him to drop it by 10,000. The property is now sold.

Jrand, thanks for your thoughts on my dream the other day. As far as I know, no one has ever tried to help me from the grave, but would I know?

We ended up having three good candidates out of five. Just the number we needed.

I think this fits into the May 14 reevaluation that the astrologer I know was talking about, rethinking your goals and strategies to achieve better results. Macbeth's rethinking, in this case. Or was it Randy making the counter-offer?

I was going to meet Rosemary Ashe for breakfast tomorrow but I had to cancel. I've got to get to a bank with a notary, and then Fed Ex the notarized power of attorney to Randy, who will sign for me.

TOD:

I liked both ANNIKA (PBS) and SIGNORA VOLPE (Acorn TV), but both had short seasons. Good things are coming down the pike, but not soon enough for this viewer.

Perhaps we should have a HHW party when Elmore receives his check.

The whole building and the other three on the main campus.
