Highlights

We went on actual vacation!  A friend of mine from church had given us a week of Timeshare credit to trade for a week where & when we wanted it.  So, we've just returned from a week on Cape Cod.  Among other things, we visited Nantucket, Provincetown, the Sandwich Glass museum, the Whydah shipwreck museum, lighthouses, and walked on the beach a bunch. 

We're thinking of buying a house!  Though we're still deciding whether the "time is right" or not, Syracuse housing prices are really low (always, not just right now).  We will probably have made a decision about whether to buy this year by the end of the summer.

The weird guy downstairs seems to be gone!  (I know I never got a chance to post about him, since April & May were pretty busy) but the short version is:  a stupid problem created by the friend-of-the-landlord/property-manager-guy seems to have now been resolved.  And, for those who've heard parts of the story in person, nearly all of the trash pile is gone now, too.

More soon, I'm sure, but I know I've been terrible about updating...
