BIG DOG

yesterday for the whole day, i was wearing one of my Big Dogs T-shirts.  I guess I have joined the big dogs now.  I woke up this morning in my own home, situated on my own property, walked naked from my bedroom to my bathroom in my master suite, took a big dog leak, then came back to the bedroom… THOROUGHLY SATISFIED.  i mean this is really a trip!  I cannot believe I am a homeowner.  It will sink in over time.  I may post some pics of the place online.  As for day one though, all is well.  now back to moving crap in from my old house!  -rw

on the eve of the closing

i am listening to this streaming 80’s station.  Bon Jovi is blasting right after an “unplugged” version of Animal from Def Leppard.  Those guys were pretty great, eh?  Anyway, here I am, about to move again.  I made a promise to myself that this time, I wouldn’t move again until I bought a house.  I set that goal for myself when i moved to Boston in 2001.  Little did I know just how fucked up the housing market was up here. 

Oooh, INXS is on… AND THEY COULD NEVER TEAR US A PART… do do do do.... do do do do…

ok, so in 2002, i get so seriously ill.  looking at death in a serious way, I reflect on my life.  what haven’t i done?  i had another record in me… that one is coming out VERY soon.  i wanted to maybe get married and start a family someday (jury is still out on that one) and i wanted to own my own house.

so, i started looking this year.  after 8 months of searching through the garbage in Boston, i found my dream home.  it it is a fricken fortune, but with room enough for renters to help quite a bit on the mortgage.  and as it turned out, it was only 4 houses from where i live now!

LANDLORD WOLFF

Yeah yeah, I know, what the fuck happened to July?  Or to writing regularly?  I agree.  But, in the little space, we put out a preview of the new cd.  It kinda rocks.  Must hear!  And, I found a house, bought it, and am working on getting renters.  If you know anyone looking in the Boston area, let me know.  So much risk with a home purchase.  I read all these stories about people getting really rich buying a few properties.  I am working on one and I am already exhausted.  How do they do it?  I think people should make money the old fashioned way, inheritance from a relative who kicks it!  Anyway, I am working on some bookings for the fall.  I hope everyone is having a great summer!
