It is 3 am in California as I write this, 6 am here at the blog house, but the title suggest Simon & Garfunkel's album from 1964 that was their first, and a decidedly different album than that was to follow. Highlights were "Bleeker Street" and the first version of "The Sounds of Silence." On the stereo right now is a collection of favorite songs culled from the Hits of Yesterday database, presently playing We Five's "You Were On My Mind."

Events of the house move and sale continue at a snail's pace. Yesterday, taking advice I saw on the Style Channel's "Clean House," I filled two trashbags with stuff stashed away in drawers in the basement and in boxes already packed. So it left me with more boxes to put more stuff in. I feel good about what I am taking and keeping; and have a much clearer picture of how I'm going to store boxes of stuff I won't need in an apartment for a year.

The snail's pace stopped on a potential homebuyer that wanted me to carry a second mortgage on the property for two years. Nope. If the buyer defaults, I'll have the house back; or more correctly, have to foreclose and auction the house. Not something I want to deal with. I'm hoping that the sign I put in front, advertising the open house on Sunday will collect a few more potential buyers. Time is getting critical, and a sixty-day closing cycle will be on my wedding day, NOT.

Today, I'm working at my church, adding more stuff (not the same stuff I am throwing out, mind you) and rewiring the sound system console. It was hot there yesterday, and while assembling TV carts (not very intuitive as you have to bend metal pieces to put them together) and I was drowning in my own sweat (I know, more than you want to know.) After talking with M last night, a cool shower was the best thing that happened to me all day (except for talking with M!)

Have a great Wednesday!
