For those of you that know me (and some that don’t) you know that my wife is from North Little Rock, Arkansas, and there is a real possibility that I may have to buy a house there.

Note: I did not say LIVE there, but buy a house there.

So, on a whim, we decided to look at a few houses, just to get the sense of what is around. We might even be buying a house with my sister in law and her 3 girls, which means that I will not only be “crazy” as I’m usually described, but may actually get to see the inside of a sanitarium at some point. Somebody shoot me while I’m happy.

Needless to say, most of the homes (for some inexplicable reason) were built in the 60s and 70s. And, perhaps more explicably (if I may), they are still decorated like they were built in the 60s and 70s.

Like this:

Yeah. And I just want to share a thought my mother in law (bless her heart) had. “There’s wood paneling, and then there’s wood paneling.” True, and they are all ugly.

This is not a picture of an actual house we looked at. Actually, this looks pretty good compared to what we looked at. Two words: yellow appliances.

Fortunately, New Years Eve celebrations are about to ensue, which means drinking and visiting and drinking and partying and drinking and farting and drinking. And we’ll have some champagne. I’ll document, no worries.
