The Real Estate
I almost forgot: I received the message below from a Fragments reader last week while up to my elbows in Powerpoint and such. Can't say anything about the place, but will pass along for those interested: From the email from a recently-former resident of Floyd County with a place for sale:
I own a house and 5 acres on Lick Ridge, the ridge just above you. If you go up Griffith Creek to the end, it dead-ends on Lick Ridge Road, turn right and travel about 3 miles. The house is a timber frame on the right. It is for sale, and I might ad that I would like to sell it ASAP. I am very motivated. Listed for 134,000. Will consider all reasonable offers.
Address is 2391 Lick ridge Road. It is handled by ReMax realty of Christiansburg.
Robin Stevens can provide more information: cell 540-392-9988 office 540-382-4400
We put a lot of remodeling into the house--kitchen cabinets from cherry cut from the property, spiral stairs, master bedroon with deck overlooking the valley, two good wood stoves...
And once again, that commission check from ReMax would be a nice token, don't you think? And I'm wondering if I shouldn't just go ahead and get my real estate license and blog and work at the same time!

Why not? Then you can be as busy as I am. It's fun, but it doesn't look a lot like writing, I fear.

Answer: Yes you should. ...and per my earlier comment, someone (you?) should set up a group of concerned investors to drive new development in a preservation oriented direction.... Let me know if you're interested in the latter; there's gotta be a way a CPA can be a part of that!

Sounds like a good plan to me, chief, except you're gonna start filling up that valley, and then where will you be?
I'm also getting a nice visual of you showing houses with your scarf on.
