It's a good news/ bad news thing really.
What started as a giggling thought turned into a full blown, credit-checking, sign the papers before they do knock down drag out mortgage fest. We offered, the other guy counter-offered...the seller couldnt have been happier... and when the smoke, lawyers,guns and money cleared...the beautiful 136 year old Victorian with more character than solid foundation went to someone else. Three days later, my teeth were still gnashing. We REALLY wanted that house. If any good came from it at all, it would be the fact that we had a clearer understandting of what our current house needs. Secondly, we found out what our current place is worth, which was pleasantly surprising. We now have work to do here, which isnt saying much, we always have work to do on the house.
Than theres my home away from home...
Wrigley Field is about to get an "extreme makeover" and judging by the pics, it looks exciting. Another ancient building in need of work. Like it or not, this is the house that Sosa built. Love him or hate him, his time spent here blasting balls onto waveland and sheffield helped pack 'em in and pay for the future expansions. Was he the single reason? No. Not by a longshot. (get it?) But he sure helped.
So thanks Sammy...good luck with the O's and let the games begin.
Pre-season watch: Cubs 2, THEM 0
WOOOO-HOOOO!!!
