I guess it’s starting to be noticeable – I haven’t been adding entries at my normal pace. When you start getting e-mails that are like picadores in a bull fight – drawing blood – you get the impression that some people feel I’m taking too long between entries. There’s a good reason for this delay or pause.
Linda and I have been very busy trying to keep Carolina Arts afloat and part of that process is a refinancing of our home – a process that is much different than the last time we went through this endeavor. Thanks to the wizards of finance who sold mortgages to just about anyone who could sign X on the spot, bringing our economy crashing down around us – mortgage guidelines have now gone to the far extreme. We have a good credit rating and have never missed or been late on a payment, but are now being asked to jump through hoops of fire to take advantage of lower mortgage rates. Besides our regular jobs which don’t leave us with a lot of free time we are now working overtime 24/7 to complete the tasks we have been given to close on this new opportunity at owning a home in America.
So, rest assured – the mad blogger will be back – soon I hope. There is a lot of stuff going on and I’m collecting info as it happens to comment on at an opportune time.
