Thanks for bumping this thread back up again. Move vibes heading your way. That house is as good as yours.

Dammit! I wish you would come to Fest. There's damn few Cellarites within reasonable driving distance of Gaea, and meeting some of you there would be awesome! Besides, this is my last year as a mucky muck. I'm just going to be one of the rank (really rank) and file for awhile.

Add another wild card to our current crazed mix. We received a call last night from my mother in law, informing us that Mrs Elspode's grandfather was beginning hospice care this morning. It is entirely possible that he could pass on very soon, and we'll have to drop everything to be there. I don't mean to sound callous...I love and respect this man very much, and wouldn't dream of not being there when he takes his last ride, but this couldn't possibly come at a worse time.

I now have to write up a contingency plan to cover my absence from Festival at any time - before, during, and after. This means getting out of my head an onto paper dozens of facts, notions, inspirations, possible pitfalls, etc, etc and into the hands of my appointed minions, who will have to take over for me at a moment's notice. Additionally, the guy who was in charge of the Festival brochure (which includes workshop scheduling) has majorly dropped the ball and left most of my Honored Guest Speakers off of the schedule, so I am now going to have to produce posters and handbills to update the damn brochure. Finally, the 15 year old begins his new job today, and so we have to run him back and forth to work from now until we go to Camp for Fest setup, all the while still being down one car to breakdown.

And we're still trying buy/sell houses and move.

Last year at this time, Mrs Elspode and I were only remodeling one room and moving our office from the old room into the new. This year, we've raised the bar a bit...or rather, had it raised for us.

Next year, I'm thinking of starting a manned space program or perhaps forming an independent nation. You know, something a bit less strenuous and time-consuming.

I'd be willing to run the moonbase mining and habitat construction...

When you really be building a super duper accelerator collider.

I'm really good at unpacking and decorating - for your new nation of course.

As if things aren't crazy enough here on the threshold of Festival time, something we work all year to help produce, we are now frantically cleaning out our house and preparing to paint and patch so that we can sell it. Tomorrow, my wife and kids are going to look at it a second time while I await the delivery of a 16' PODS container to my driveway into which will go everything we don't absolutely *need* for the next 2-3 months. Then, upon returning from Fest, we will feverishly paint and repair as cheaply as possible and hope that the sellers, who are split up due to relocation of the husband out of state and who have had the place on the market since October of last year, will accept our contingency offer.

Why am I telling you all of this? Because I believe implicitly in the power of *intent* and the force of human energies, and I would like you all to take a good look at this place, and then send me and mine all the positive vibes you can spare. We need this place, if for no other reason than the nifty "guest house" out back in which my eldest son, who is cognitively disabled, can continue to live independently, but close by. Also, it would keep my wife from going stir crazy in the 1,000 square foot ranch house we've long since outgrown.

Think good thoughts for me, folks.

Are you kidding me? Holy crap!!! That house is awesome. The price listed can't be right. You can't buy the guest house in CA for $200,000.

Elspode · 05-19-2006, 02:59 PM

Yeah, but around here, a family of four can live on $60,000 a year...you can't do that in California. Hell, you can't even get your car worked on for that in California.

limey · 05-19-2006, 04:09 PM

Hang in there, 'spode. Keep making lists, writing it down. If it's all going through your head so's you can't sleep, write it all down so it's there for you in the morning. Wishing you the Best of British Luck!
