Mum is now the proud holder of a condo mortgage, after a few moments of last-minute terror when the Left Hand in the closing office didn't have a crucial paper that the Right Hand was supposed to have clued it in to. Everything's finally settled, though, and we've got our Preciousss the keys -- let the complaints about moving commence! Begin clearing your appointment schedules for a housewarming party or five sometime after the middle of August...
Despite all the excitement, I did manage to find time to head over to the meetup that
rabid_chemist had called at Waveland, and bowled a personal best of 128, then followed that with 124 -- and I didn't fall down once. So all y'all who didn't shift yourselves to turn out missed quite a show, and will have to suffer the pangs of regret forthwith. :)
[Edit: And it just occured to me, as Mum got home a moment ago with three gallon-jugs of bottled water to make up for the undrinkable crap that comes out of our old lead pipes here, why the 11-pound bowling ball felt so light last night... Watch my game go all to hell when I move into the place where I won't have to be hauling 16lb weights up a flight of stairs a couple of times a week!]
