Grumpy\u2026<\/p>\n

And I\u2019m not the only one.<\/p>\n

As it turns out when we refinanced back in two thousand and two, lowering our interest rates, the attorney neglected to file the necessary papers.<\/p>\n

(This reflection will ultimately be about lawyers\u2026)<\/p>\n

Fast forward. Even though there were subsequent refinancings (there were a number of opportunities to lower rates in those days), now as we are selling, all is stopped \u2019till that one event in ought two is resolved.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure at this moment but I think there are five lawyers involved. The lawyers are now fighting among themselves.<\/p>\n

You are reading the reflection of collateral damage\u2026<\/p>\n

So the people who want to buy our house and thought they were today, are grumpy.<\/p>\n

And the people who wish to sell us theirs, and thought they would on Monday, are grumpy.<\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s Jan & me. We\u2019re grumpy.<\/p>\n

I think the only one not grumpy is Auntie. And that\u2019s because she\u2019s not paying attention\u2026<\/p>\n

Okay, here\u2019s where I find myself thinking about lawyers.<\/p>\n

And William Shakespeare\u2026<\/p>\n
