Well not to jinx the whole housing situation but we are in position to close the sale of our house in Tucson later this week or early next week. We just spent a lovely weekend in Tucson loading up all of our remaining belongings into a Uhaul 26 foot "Superhauler" and I drove it up this morning which was a real treat. The truck is surprisingly powerful and has no problem pulling 60 mph up the monster hills of I-17 as you climb up from the valley. Now we just have to figure out where we are going to put all of our junk. We took a ton of stuff to Goodwill before we left Tucson but now that we have to find places for the rest of our stuff we may be donating some more stuff. Downsizing and simplifying is a good ideal to strive for anyway albeit sometimes hard to attain. We now have a real bed in our spare bedroom which will be a lot nicer for anyone who cares to come and visit us and the old futon mattress fits conveniently under the bed so there is a spot for little kids that visit also. While we were in Tucson we went to the movies and watched Charlie Wilson's War which was really good and very informative historically. The message at the end is all too familiar. I would highly recommend seeing it.
