Without trying to stir speculation or pre-emptive expectations, I wanted to mention that Karin and I put a hold on an empty lot in the south-west corner of Edmonton this weekend. No obligation. No conditions. We just confirmed a location in the vast scheme of the house-building universe, and have nudged that project into the first stages of readiness. Imagine a huge boulder on the top of a very steep hill: we stuck a plank under the bottom edge of that boulder creating a lever-sort of contraption, and are preparing to take a very big jump at the other end. Roll, boulder, roll.

Ok. So that was a mediocre analogy. But give me a break. I'm tired.

In other news: life continues as required.
