LUNCH OUT
We had family lunch out today. John, Booker and me.
It was not voluntary. We went to the Rock Garden whilst a prospect toured our house.
They stayed a long time.
An older couple from up north somewhere. Canada.
They asked the right questions.
They want to know what we would leave in the house. There was already a list but we were prepared for the buyer to not want any of it.
It is hard not to get twitchy about it. A part of me wants to keep the house and just live in the condo. Like a kid running away.
But that won't work.
We have to move.
They have four dogs!
This is a great yard for dogs.
They are down to only two choices for this trip. The other one is a tear down over on Camino Descanso. A dump.
We will see. Wait it out.

SHOT II
We went out for lunch today.
For me, that is unprecedented.
But, some friends from Boston were in town and a mutual friend wanted us all to get together for the day and we did.
We took Franklin.
We had a nice time.
And it shot the afternoon.
It was worth it in this case but it seldom is.
By 'shot' I mean that it takes time to get dressed and to drive and to be there and to come home and to change again and before you know it you have cut 3 hours or more out of the day.
It is good practice to go once in awhile and set a standard.
Unless it is as worthwhile as today's investment was, it is a waste of time to go out for lunch.
At home, I can get it all done in 30 minutes and I can do some reading while it happens.
Nonetheless, thanks Bob for a nice time.
