Some general thoughts on the housing/credit markets. I'm a little behind the curve now, because I didn't update earlier and I think the WSJ is running an article now declaring the US in a recession. I have to say I'm glad they figured it out! From my perspective, and mine alone I would say we've been sliding toward a recession for a year and have possibly been in one for 3 - 6 months. I know the technical definition and I don't care if what I say matches. At least in this area of the country, we're in a tough spot. I got a pretty good price on the house I purchased last year after moving here to SW Fl. I was convinced that I had purchased near rock bottom pricing...there's at least one house in the development already thats for sale cheaper. This wouldn't worry me except I moved down here to work for a local builder and so watching this economy and especially the local building economy scares the crap out of me.
On to happier thoughts. The new puppy (Katie) is doing very well. Clearing up an eye infection and she's rapidly learning about going to the bathroom outside instead of on the carpet. Very cute little thing and if I can figure out how to do it, I may post a picture some day.
Still looking for an old Jeep. While I drive a TJ every day, I really enjoy working on the old ones because they are so simple.
My beloved Tigers got knocked out of the SEC tourney in the 1st game yesterday. Couldn't watch the game (damn that work!) but didn't sound like they played well at all. Lots of turnovers and poor defense. Still, after losing the coach mid-year and having had such a poor record, they at least made things more respectable.
Big Question now is Who is going to be the new coach? Smart money says Anthony Grant from VCU, but there are a number of other options. I'll post if I hear anything interesting....mostly for myself, but you never know, someone may stumble on this thing and read it one day.
