Officially Fa... err... Winter

Looks like Fall was bypassed this year.

Snowflakes made a cameo appearance just yesterday and it looks like the white stuff could beat the colorful leaves to the ground in 2009. It has been dipping well below 30 most nights and I could see my breath while sitting in my sister's house today -- not fun.

Speaking of which, my kid sister just closed on a new house. She and Steve bought a house in Harbor Springs, outside of the city and it's a nice starter home. They officially move all their stuff in tomorrow with painting not far behind. For those of you that know that Harbor area, she lives at the end of Five Mile Creek, right where the road T's with the adjoining road. The house is built into a hill with the basement flowing out in the front and a big deck overhanging from the front of the one story house. There is also a two-car garage in front of the house.

It seems everyone is buying a house these days. Two of my friends, Matt and Drew, have also purchased homes recently and are fine tuning their establishments. It's a good time to buy, especially if you live in the Detroit area or Michigan in general.

I'm heading back to Kalamazoo next weekend for a long overdue return to the city I called home for seven years. Homecoming is next Saturday and this will be the first time I've been back in quite some time. I've missed Kalamazoo a lot, and some of the people there, so I'm looking forward to visiting.

I've got a couple of prospective jobs on the horizon.

Hopefully one of them pans out pretty soon. I'm getting a little anxious sitting here at home and I'm ready to get back to writing. One might be a bridge to the other and that is always a good opportunity.

Hopefully I'll be on here blogging a little more. I'd like to blog more than give monthly updates, but that's all it seems to be these days.
