riding into the sunset

The rumors are true. Our condo is officially under contract, after a bit less than two weeks on the market. Time to say good-bye to all this:



And hello to this:



Goodbye, penthouse. Hello, Parks & Recreation.

But, lest anyone get the wrong idea, our neighborhood is far from Green Acres. I quote the Village's official Diversity Statement: "We choose this community, not just as a place to live, but as a way of life ... Ours is a dynamic community that encourages the contributions of all citizens, regardless of race, gender, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, religion, economic status, political affiliation or any of the other distinguishing characteristics that all too often divide people in society." (I love Utopian local government.)

We have a few hurdles yet to clear: the inspection (tomorrow morning), the attorney review, the buyers getting their mortgage officially approved (more on them later). But there's nothing we can do about all that. Guess we'll just have to find ways to keep ourselves occupied in the meantime... Say, anyone know where I can get my hands on a jackhammer?
