Wow, sounds like they are totally hot for you. Start asking them “Whose your daddy?” and see what they say.
Indeed.
I told them that I didn’t think we would settle on a price at the meet and that they could zing me some stuff via email this week.
Here’s hoping.
You wouldn’t believe the housing prices. I may buy two or three.
You can charge higher rents if you have three houses. 
Yeah, they’ve got the hots for you. People don’t open their books for just anybody.
But I expect the reason why they’re doing it is that the numbers will say, “we really aren’t bullshitting - there’s only this much money in the pot.”
Good luck with the dickering!
Wait a cotton-picking minute!! Just as I’m about to become a MAD, you’re thinking about jumping ship?!?!?
Sheesh, some people.
Good luck, I guess. 
That’s what you get for waiting so long to move up here. Teach you a lesson.
Get this:
5 bedroom, 3 bath, on the river with docking facilities…
$82,000.
Mortage (approx): $700/month
My current place?
3 bedrooms, 1.5 bath, in the mountains…
Mortgage (approx): $2100/month
I may seriously buy 2 or three.
Plus I think I can sell our place, pay off the current note, the home equity line, the credit cards, both cars and the new computers we got for Christmas and still have enough for about 25-30% downpayment.
I’m tempted here, folks. If you want me to stay you’d best start talking now.
Oh, and seige, on the subject of Cumberland radio…
Do you ever listen to Go-106 out of Cumberland? I was listening as I drove back on Friday.
Ray Wagner? The guy who does 6-midnight?
I trained him way back when during my college radio days. I can’t believe I stumbled across him!
I can’t pay you to stay, but I also can’t guarantee we’ll visit you in Ohio.
Sounds like Bristol on the Ohio!
Yeah, I suppose, RT. But I’ll pretty much do anything to avoid 3+ hours of commute for the rest of my life.
How’s this for the Post reading my mind?

I’m not playing in THAT league, house wise, in Virginia. But I’m feeling some of those same symptoms.
You fight dirty, Ginger.
Hey - it’s not my fault that my kid wouldn’t complete 4 years of high school in 2 years! The slacker brat!
Neener neener!
My kid sister did! And college, too!
I don’t know man. Someone offering me a job on the first day has always thrown up a red flag. The last couple of jobs I took like that sucked. Hopefully this job will work out better for you.
Good one, Edward the Head! Now, if we can convince him that Ohio is full of crackheads and republicans, we shouldn’t have much of a fight to keep him here!
But…you’ll be leaving Virginia for Ohio.
That’s just crazy.
As opposed to Virginia?
I keep forgetting that you’re way up there in the Northern hinterlands … hell, you’re almost in Ohio now, aren’t you?
Great article in the post, today, though…I particularly liked the part about the big, strapping guy who was afraid of the noises at night.
Yeah, punk ass.
I’ve always felt apart from those folks because I bought an existing house instead of building one and I’m not afraid of the country noises.
Admittedly the bobcats are scary sounding…but they’re not threatening. The only threatening animal I’ve ever seen out here was a bear and he was mostly interested in making a clean getaway from me than anything else.
Hey weenis, watch your step.
I can visit him in Ohio, and I’m way cooler than you! I don’t even smell like wee!
