Wow! What a trip it's been

I'm back. Did you miss me?

We took a few days longer getting across country than I had planned. Then to top it all off some of our house had to be loaded on a second truck and that truck was delayed by bad weather. But now my computer's various parts are all assembled together and working properly. This means blogging should return to normal shortly.

Visited Frank Lloyd Wright's Taleisin West and his one time apprentice Paolo Soleri's Arcosanti experiment in modern living. I'll be writing more about those eperiences for sure.

We're renting a home until we can find a place in the Orlando area to purchase. After four years of homeownership it feels really different to be back in these shoes. Having to deal with a management company is getting to be one of the least pleasant aspects of the adventure.

Enough about me. To get things back in the flow, here is the take of Dan Gillmor's, known for his grassroots journalism activism, on the insanity currently propping up the real estate market in the Bay Area. Be sure to read the comments too. Some valuable advice in there.

It's good to be back.

I'm looking forward to seeing your final post for the Las Vegas house blog. Been waiting for that one. Wanted to see what it sold for and what you thought about the whole thing. :)
