(Sorry, just saw the "Homer, the food critic" Simpsons the other night...)
I should be working right now. Urge to wax poetic... irresistable...
I think we're going to probably end up putting an offer in on this house we're looking at. It's up in Bear Valley Springs, CA, a small community just outside of Tehachapi, which is just outside Bakersfield, which is just outside... you get the point, it's pretty isolated. Which is just fine by me; I can get high-speed Internet there, Tehachapi has two (count 'em, TWO!) coffee shops... what else matters?
Two bedrooms with a big loft (for the master "bedroom"), 1300 square feet, a detached office, and 1.1 acres of land looking down on the small community lake. It may not be quite as cool (or as expensive, for that matter) as building our own house (which we considered, until we sobered up) but it's a really nice place. The only online pictures of the house kind of suck, and I'm not cool enough to own a digital camera so you'll just have to use your imagination.
One other point of (good) news: I got a 12-pack of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale for $10 at the Sav-On here. It's pretty good stuff; I'm not ashamed to be snobby about my beer.
Okay, I've got to go and actually earn the house. Off to work...
