News from the Hobbs Ranch

We closed on a house today. All of the long hours of looking at houses for sale in subdivision after subdivision, scanning realtracs, getting our Realtor to spend his Saturdays showing us home after home after home, each time trying to imagine what it might be like to live there and, more importantly, raise two children there, trying to picture our family in that house... all the rationalizing about a too-long commute, or too few bedrooms, or too small a yard, all the raised and dashed hopes, all the long hours of indecision and wondering if we'd ever find just the right house in just the right neighborhood with just the right school for our precious kids and, finally, it all comes to an end in the simple ceremony of signing a few papers spread on a conference table in an office, and the ceremonial handing over of the keys and garage door openers.

The American Dream comes with a Michael Moore-sized debt. But it's worth it. We found the right house. The Franklin outpost of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy will soon be moving here:

(If this post doesn't move you to drop something in the tip jar, nothing will.)
