    The day of drunkery is tomorrow. They have been running radio spots saying there will be specially trained cops out watching for drunk and impaired drivers.

    Well, since I hate corned beef, and cabbage even more I won't have to worry about said cops. I'll be home.

    What are your plans?

    Stay in and drink beer and play with power tools as I continue to build out my new shop.

    Hopefully I can still count to 10 the next morning.

    Me and the twin may go down to Carlsbad village, most likely we'll stay up here and drink with our Pops. Since my brothers illnesses he has trouble staying past 9 anyway.

    And when I say trouble, he's tried taking his ritalin at 830pm and for whatever reason when 9 hits he's done.

    We have another beer league hockey playoff game, so I am sure some beer will be drunk.

    I'm going to try and sneak out of work early to look at a house because the damn things won't stay on the market for more than 2 days.

    Have you tried looking at a neighborhood like this?

    Yep. The market has shifted once again to the way it was when we were looking. Some friends just had their offer accepted. The house was on the market for 4 days. Shit, they put their offer in prior to the first showing.

    My mom's a real estate broker in SW Ontario... and lately EVERY sale has been at least 20% over asking, with no conditions. It's fucking nuts.

    The most "WTF" was a house that went for $130k over, 24 hours after being listed.

    Hey just wait to buy during the holidays. The downside is that there isn't much on the market, and you're dealing with that fun stuff during one of the most stressful times of the year..the upside was that we bought our house for a whopping $2k below asking price. Woo hoo!

    Makes one wonder if we're headed for another bubble. I'm in Northern California and home prices are back to what they were in 2006/7 and rarely are on the market for a few days before they are pending.

    I'm going to be buying within 6 months. And dropping $500K to get anything close to decent. The market here makes me cry.

    I have no plans for St. Paddy's Day. There's a parade here in town at 10:30 tomorrow morning. I'm actually on vacation this week so I could take the kids but their cousins are staying with my in-laws and I doubt they'll want to come home long enough to go to the parade. Thank god.

    I've spent my vacation cleaning house, going to Sam's Club, and binge watching season 2 of Love and The People vs. OJ Simpson. I think I'm doing it wrong.

    Whew, made it by a few months. I am drinking a bloody mary right now. I'm not sure if that makes it better or worse.

    I'm having a hard time not capitalizing 'bloody mary' but as a drink name I don't think it's supposed to be capitalized, but Mary is a name so I'm unsure.

    I actually read it wrong. So you're right, this time.

    But I'm not thirty yet so I don't care.

    Don't worry turning 30 is cool. You give no fucks about pop culture and you tend to do more of what you want.

    Anyway, today is my moms bday, I saw her resting place,now I'm sitting with rum and cokes and chilling until the twin and dad get home.

    Family is priceless, I wish I lived closer. My dad, my twin and I get along so well, its always nice to come on back. Yesterday, my dad, our dog and I went fishing and it was such a dam good time.

    I do what I want now.

    I'm not having an existential crisis or anything.

    Edited to add: I've literally spent all day in sweat pants and a Kid Rock concert tee shirt. Clearly I don't worry about pop culture. (I also haven't left the house, but whatever.)

    My roommate put an offer on a house listed at $780K; it ultimately went for $1.2M

    The Boston Parade has been embroiled in its annual controversy of not wanting to let gay vets march for some reason.
