James Wood(s) ... That's funny.. but I digress.
The funny thing here is that her and I (or maybe just me) have been
talking about living aboard for ever. We have been on a 5 year "pay
off everything" plan. We are at the end of the 4th year of that
plan, and we currently owe just the house, and a car. The car will
be done in April (tax time) and the house, about a year later. So we
are on track. Then she goes and pulls this out of her .. um .. hat.
So, here I go, and there she sits.
David.
(sorry, for my feeble attempt at humor) :)
