Time to Move?

We've been tossing the idea around to move for a while now. For a number of reasons it seems like a good idea, and unfortunately there are some compelling reasons to stay put - or at least restrict the move to our own back yard.
To name just a few:

PROS
  • we need more space
  • street is too busy
  • we've spent our whole lives in this zip code
  • now or never - or at least not until they kids graduate
  • we can buy more house elsewhere for same price
  • south has less snow and ice
  • closer to work - save gas and time
  • we don't HAVE to move so we can do it on our own terms
  • currently centered within an over developed area

CONS
  • kids will miss friends
  • they attend a great school
  • good schools are hard to find
  • expensive
  • pain in the ass
  • need to do some final work on house to get ready
  • current neighborhood is great for walking and visiting
  • located near to everything we need now
Oh well, given the housing industry right now it's best to wait for prices to come down a bit and see what happens after the dust settles. This has an advantage that we could then buy lower and rent our existing house until the market rebounds before we sell.
...or an I just making excuses to delay the inevitable?

Bar-B-Que Season is just around the corner.


And to celebrate the arrival of the new season of grilling, smoking, and Bar-B-Que goodness I am proud to announce the 2008 release of our family sauce. This year we have a different line-up of cooks so the name has been adapted.
Great on everything.

365 Days Later

Since it's a leap year it's already been 365 days later - a day ahead of schedule. It still sucks just the same but bursts of insight and understanding ride in on the swells.
