Since I've already sold my house, it seemed prudent to find somewhere else to live. I believe I have. I put in an application for a small apartment with some interesting amenities, not least of which is this view:

As long as the OAFPOTUS stays in office, the world stupidity quotient will remain too high for effective April fooling. I mean, just look at all this:

It turns out, I can close them pretty fast when this happens:

The temperature at O'Hare hit 26.7°C/81°F just before 4pm today. That's a new record:

With 44 days to go before I hand over the keys door codes on my house, I looked at one last place today. It's at the north end of the Northalsted/Boystown neighborhood east of Wrigley Field, so the location is fantastic. The unit itself didn't show well at all because the current owners, shall I say, don't seem to have the same standards of maintenance that I do. It's fairly small and I don't think I would like my home-office situation. Disappointing.

I believe I have sold my house. I will know for sure when the buyer deposits the main portion of her earnest money with my agent tomorrow or Tuesday. The agreed price (5% over asking) means that my house will have appreciated at 7.9% annually since I bought it—about double the general inflation rate. That's, frankly, insane.
