My Ear Hurts!

I have Van Gogh’s ear for music!

Mary worked today, so I stayed home and fought the battle of the continuous chores; there is always something to do around a house.

Then the phone begins to ring and ring.  I spent four-plus hours on the phone with my financial advisor, my CPA, my real estate agent, and finally, a loan officer.  The rules have changed significantly, and it became clear that selling my properties is the right thing to do to avoid SIGNIFICANT capital gains in the future.  So, I decided to make an offer on the new house.  I am as nervous as a whore in church!

Later in the day, Mary stopped by after work, and I told her what I did.  We decided to go to Patty’s and “celebrate.”

I love the bar!

Palos Verdes and Catalina in the distance

Ready to entertain!

We returned to my place, and on the way, we got a call from Bill Capps; he and his Mary were heading to Hoff’s Hut, and we decided to join them.  We had a super time and returned home at 10:30 PM.  It was too late to drive back to Orange, so Mary stayed in Robin’s room.

I tossed and turned all night but on the bright side, the family will get together to do easter eggs in the morning; traditions return.

About Paul

Just an old retired guy trying to finish out my last years on this planet. I lost my best friend and wife in early 2020. I was blessed again by reconnecting with Dr. Mary Côté, a long-time friend. Mary and I got married July 28th, 2021, and are enjoying life together and plan to spend the rest of our lives being a blessing to our friends and family.
