BLINDS WIDE OPEN -day 345 Moving Time


One thing I can't stand is moving. When I see it happening on a weekly basis and the chaos that is generally nvolved, I think most of you would understand my feelings. Now the time has come for us to move to our new offices and tonight at Staples, that ill feeling came over me. Standing in line with boxes, I started to think about the wires, cords, computers and stuff that will be put into boxes, carried out, carried in and then unpacked and put back into place in the new office. Now here is a piece of advice I always give sellers that are moving; "In a couple weeks you'll forget about all of this." What a bunch of malarchy! The dread is building and I am wondering how I can slip out in a couple of weeks and just dump it on the group. So for all of you that have heard that line, forgive me, I realize how absurd that is. Packing and unpacking is awful.

 Since I consider myself  more of a half full glass guy than half empty, (am I?, always questioning that) my goals for the move will be simple and here they are: 1. less stuff moves with us than what we have now. 2. My desk will remain free of clutter. And finally number 3. the day couch will be for sitting and relaxing and not ever used again as a file cabinet.

In a couple weeks, I'll forget all of this ever happened.

BLINDS WIDE OPEN -day 344 Rancho Relief!




Congrats to the new owners of Rancho. I have to confess there were many times that I felt this would never happen. A medical emergency almost nixed the whole deal, but thankfully, a successful  procedure, smooth recovery and cool heads prevailed on all sides. Now the new owners are getting married in the backyard and all the turmoil will soon be forgotten. Two new journeys begin for two families, one in Arizona and one on Rancho road!
