RE: Exodus

Gosh, don't even know what to say.  That's just the pits.  I hate this
turmoil for you, but have every confidence you'll face it with your usual
aplomb.  If you need to unload, this is the spot. 

Zem is right - it could make a heck of a road trip.

Today it looks like it's going to work out, so I guess I ought to fess 
up. There are three items on the agenda: 1. Ms Fatma has left me; 2. I 
am going to lose this place; 3. Squinty and I will be moving on.

1. Yes. Ms Fatma is gone, getting a divorce, she says. I feel kind of 
sad that it didn't work out, but life's like that--good days, bad 
days--but it's never the end of the world, just the end of the 
arguments.

2. No doubt; I'm going to lose this place. Between the insurance rate 
hike and Ms Fatma bailing out, I am not able to make the payments on 
the house. So I quit trying. I may have two months before they throw me 
out. When this became clear, I tried to put the house on the market but 
ran into a number of realtors who did not want to list an "as-is short 
sale." Not enough money in it, they said. So I asked a friend to post a 
notice on a rare fruit chat list that innumerated most of the 
subtropical fruit trees I've planted and groomed and, lo and behold, I 
have unearthed a Roman Catholic priest [no, not Gregor Mendel] living 
abroad who wants to buy it. So this may work out.

3. My sister says she has a spare bedroom that Squinty and I can share. 
So we'll be moving to Oregon. Not sure when... but before they throw me 
out of here in all likelihood.
