Ads and House
Up at 6:30. After I got through some routine stuff, I pushed out a letter to the Larkware advertisers soliciting ads for September and October. This should have gone out two weeks ago, but I’m getting rather disengaged from that business as all of my own thinking moves out of .NET. Ad sales still went fairly strong despite that.
Presently Adam woke up and we took a break to celebrate his 7th birthday, with presents and homemade cake for breakfast. A good time was had by all.
While that was going on, the first offer on our house arrived by e-mail. Unfortunately the offer itself was pretty lackluster, but at least it was nice to get one in. We’re going to turn this one down and perhaps make a counteroffer in a day or two.
In the afternoon, we showed the place again, to another potential buyer who appeared to be very interested. Hopefully all this showing means that more offers will be coming along.
Somehow I managed to get another few hours of billable work on the table today.
Dinner was, by the birthday boy’s request, animal-shaped pancakes. I snuck myself a sandwich later on.
