My Annual Post

I cannot believe it has been a year since my last post, but it has been a crazy year. Full time grad school, substitute teaching, and a move from Alabama to Cincinnati a few weeks back. Things to like in Ohio: 1. Nearby casinos 2. That is all I can think of
Things not to like: 1. Obscene property taxes 2. $6,000 a year property taxes 3. $500 a month property tax

Our house in Alabama closed today and we do have a contract here for a slightly bigger house (because of a finished basement), but absolutely no backyard. The slope of the yard is very conducive to sledding, but notsomuch for mowing. I may have to get some metal spikes for my golf shoes for traction. Company will have privacy due to the bedroom and full bath in the basement. I will probably do a complete lawn renovation next spring and replace the pear tree in the front yard with a maple.

Hopefully, I will get back to posting now that I am not in school.
