Well, there's no denying it. Jordan is leading this show. Buying a house just seems like a high risk sort of thing to do, like barbequing naked. I don't mind the heat, it's just the thought of over extending and getting burned by a loose end. We're probably better off this way since Jordan is the one who knows how to do math.

Day one is a blur. I do remember a house with this great deep green exterior paint. It was mold green... uh well, pretty sunlight on lush brook mold green. Anyway, the layout of the house probably made very little architectural sense which means that it was very appealing to the eye. My kind of place.

I consider day one to be training day. I had a brilliant showing of completely contradicting every criteria I had going into the house hunt.

• It has to be a two story... at our price range a 1 story is a much better use of space.
• A garage is a waste of space... or a great place to store things, like a car, two bikes, and all of my extraneous lighting and furniture parts.
• A yard is just one more thing to consume my time... it also puts a significant amount of space between me and the neighbors. Down here you can never be too sure who still wears a confederate flag printed on their unmentionables.
