Notes

The cooler the car, the more expensive the tires, donchya know. Charles and I were looking at houses in Dallas this past weekend when one of the tires finally gave out. Like a champ, Chaz changed the tire for me. I suppose I was due something like this on the car. $1000 later I've got a new set of 4, and the ride is amazingly quieter. Probably good money spent, but totally unplanned.

We're looking at the condo in Oak Lawn, but also at houses around that area and University Meadows. There's some good old houses there that we can probably renovate, and maybe make some money. The condo looks to be a good investment with no work to do, other than to pare our belongings down to something that will fit in that small space. Having not bought something in construction before, I'm not quite sure how to proceed with it though.

Dallas is going to be a change, and I'm really going to miss the little house in Austin, but I think we can cash out pretty well, and its time for a change.

The business year has been quiet so far, with a couple weeks at home, but this week saw me travelling out to Southern New Jersey by way of Philadelphia. Cigna was the customer, and the project isn't that challenging, so its good to get it under control pretty quickly. Philadelphia is bitter cold, but during the stay I got to drive over both the Walt Whitman and the Ben Franklin bridges. The Whitman bridge was worthy of its name I think. I'll have to come back sometime when I have more time to see the sights, and when the weather is decent.
