How Sad a Passage

COUNTESS "This young gentlewoman had a father,--O, that 'had'! how sad a passage 'tis!--whose skill was almost as great as his honesty; had it stretched so far, would have made nature immortal, and death should have play for lack of work." -Act I scene i, All's Well that Ends Well.

What choice?

Watching Rounders over Pinot on a Friday night.  After a long post-dart lie-in and drive out the Eastern shore and review of the PAC report, you come to the easy conclusion that as desirable as 120 JS would be, it requires too much of your time in an office over the remaining years.  As the judge says, he had to answer his calling.  And since the road is yours, it is simply too much to ask to trade the whole world for Tangier.

There may be a way.  17107.  A get-away, in the truest sense.  I'd never have come to it, a mini-home on the highway in that direction.  But Highway 7.  In the right spot.  At a low price point, under the original one, when you imagined it first.  When Tancook was the dream.

I have oscillated and equivocated so much since the book began.  August 4, 2015!  It is time to bring it to a close, and the way to do it is with the cheapest option.  Sell the mutual funds, put that partly in the RRSP for Doucette and use the rest as a down payment.  Buy a sweet kayak and top notch camping gear and tell no one.  Explore over the summer and consider the merits of land on Janvrin in the months as well.  While you wait for the Trump correction?

But, above all.

Don't give up on the dream of Shackleton's grave.  It must be visited.

Oh I wish I had another bottle of vino.  And another night to chat with RR.  Ha.  Onward.  Go and put an offer on that place.  Needs must.  (And ask for the white chairs and cooler to be included!)
