I am about to go do the final walk-thru on the house and then it’s off to the title office for closing. Nothing like incurring a mountain of debt with a smile on your face and everyone you know patting you on the back. And! and, we are buying a house 3 blocks off the beach 2 days before hurricane season starts. Yup, we’re brilliant…but seriously, I’m excited about it.

See y’all Monday.

Tampa/St. Pete: Don’t forget Jason Isbell is playing Crowbar tomorrow night. Come out and help me celebrate my first home purchase with a whiskey drink and a rock show.

Jason Isbell - Try

Edit: It is done. I am officially a homeowner…I celebrated by taking the wife straight (in a, do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars) from the closing agency to the furniture store to buy a couch and chair she’s been stalking for a month. Followed by the first of what will be (i’m told) many trips to Lowe’s for home repair shit.
