But first a Huzzah!

Let's start this with a big ol' Happy Birthday to vchrusch! Hope you had a lovely day, Phil! Are still having one, in fact, since you're three two hours behind us. (Thanks, Tobes *g*) Yay!

We had another showing tonight. Things needed a more intense freshening-up, so it was a day filled with cleaning. We're all pooped. The prospective buyers spent an hour, which seems to be the minimum time people spend looking the place over. They were kind of hard to read, so there's no real sense that we'll be going four for four (four viewings, four offers).

I'm saddened by Ted Kennedy's passing. I certainly had some issues with him and his personal life - Chappaquiddick, getting his nephew off from rape charges - but he was a damn fine senator and a hell of a liberal. The phrase noblesse oblige always brought him first to my mind. He was born into privilege, but he accepted that as a responsibility as well as a blessing. I hope that his death galvanizes the Dems - most pointedly Obama - to finally pull their heads out of their asses and push through the health care reforms that Kennedy pursued throughout his political life and which we as a nation so greatly need.
