It's official; I'm a homeowner. I have joined the ranks of the
endebted, middle-class computer tech. At least house prices are no
where near what they are in Silicon Valley; I'd hate to live in
California anyway. Instead, my fiancee and I are living comfortably
near Midway in St Paul, about a mile or two from Como Park.

We met a few of our neighbors last night when we started moving in.
Very nice people! I'm going enjoy living there very much. Frank and
Beth are going to host a BBQ on Sunday that'll we'll probably attend.

Today, I'll probably work on weeding the house. Yes, I did say weeding
the house. There are tons of little trees and weeds right up next to
the foundation that need to be pulled out. I also need to calk between
the foundation and the poured concrete walkway along the West side of
the house to prevent water from channeling in. I didn't notice any
water problems in the basement, but the floor was a little clamy
yesterday. There is a high humidity in the air, but I think a
dehumidifier will help out greatly.

The appliances will be on the way this weekend, I think. We had to
purchase all new appliances, but we were able to keep it all under
$2000. With over a year to pay it off at no interest, it's quite a
deal.

Anyway, time to get back to work.
