Dang!!

Thought we had found ourselves a new home yesterday - even had a back-up to choose from. However, after the dazzle of enthusiasm became tempered by the reality of practicality, neither one ended up working for our needs. We remain homeless...

Which means we'll hit the bricks again, maybe with our heads if we continue having no luck. The market here in Calgary can best be described as a "sellers' market", where essentially any old house will sell for many, many pesos over what might be considered a more realistic actual value in a normal market. We are beyond thrilled...

We had written off a few other choices that we may revisit today, in view of our escalating urgency, or what Realtors refer to as "motivation". We have an abundance of motivation. We frankly have excessive motivation right now. We are so motivated our poker faces are like that of an unusually giddy circus clown, with big red-and-white grins if we see a roof with only marginal leaking into the living room space.

The hunt continues. We feel lucky...

Chow for now!!
