A Long Time Coming...

It's been a pretty good day here today.  I've had reason to drive me scooter around for various errands; had a good day teaching Aristotle (though this is the end of my teaching Aristotle for the term); got some books in the post we've been waiting for; received an invitation from another university to come give some talks; found out that I can probably get by with being on the APA program twice, once in a regular session and once in a session sponsored by an APA committee; etc....  But best of all we finally got approval from Bank of America to buy the house we've been trying to get for way too long.  Back on May 3, we put an offer on it and the sellers accepted our offer.  But since it's a short sale, their bank (BoA) had to approve it as well.  They approved the sale on 20 August, but it's taken until today for them to give us the approval letter.  Now that they have, we can work towards closing and finally settling in!
