Nice. Not too terribly stressful. A couple of large tasks accomplished.
- Completed a six-month "extra-curricular" course at the N&O.
- Dinner w/
saspenguin and Jason.
- Moved out of Whitaker Park, along with several other people. Found out there have been a variety of dates thrown around for people to move out, such as "right now." It was claimed, however, that my apt. is being rented out until May.
- Cleaned apt.
- Discovered a headboard travels quite nicely on the roof rack.
deviant_ was in town so Robin, myself, deviant_, ambermae and gorski got together for beer. Had Magic Hat No. 9 for the first time, and a black currant lambic. Both tasty.
- Saw Clash of the Titans with R,
ambermae, gorski and badger after badger put the event on our radar a few weeks ago.
- Flickr outing Tues. 10/03.

As previously mentioned, Whitaker Park was sold last year for redevelopment. In the last seven days, demolition has started with houses on Guilford Circle, the upper part of Wayne Drive and along Pine Drive getting knocked down by backhoes.
Robin and I took some photos of the detritus that I'll post later. |

Well, the news I'd been expecting for just over a month came through Monday, via a note in my mailbox. My neighborhood has been sold [1] with the intent of redevelopment.
No word on when I'll need to move, other than the new company will honor existing leases. The outgoing property manager mentioned that it would probably be at least a year before anything significant happens, so I'm not anticipating it's "soon." Still, I should get on the stick with the whole investigation of buying a house or condo.
