Of course, the house we rather liked, which had been on the market nearly a year, sold within a week of us becoming interested. *stomps foot petulantly*

Of course, getting us to do anything of that scale is like turning a barge. On a narrow river.

I want to go sit on a dock and stare into the water, watch the barnacles and sea squirts and the occasional fish. (Yes, if you pay attention, barnacles do stuff.) I want to be bored and hungry for a long time, then come inside and eat pie.
