To the wart-headed real estate agent who wanted to show my house last night

Athena:

They say advice only helps he who gives it, and I guess my particular brand is no different.

You got to make the best decision for you circumstances. That’s as it should be. You have to live with the consequences or reap the rewards.

I wish you luck.

On the other hand, even when you’re trying to move, you still have to live a life. Don’t be a pushover for last minute drop-bys.

Let me get this straight – you love jambalaya, but let yourself run out of Tabasco? I always keep a small emergency bottle. (I’ve tried many kinds of hot sauce, but always come back to Tabasco.)

Oh, and good luck with the house.

Scylla: Thanks for the kind words, and the advice!

Baldwin: well, I was as amazed as you are that we were out of tabasco. I suspect there’s a bottle or two somewhere in the pit that is a fridge, but we could only find Chalula, Pete’s Hot Sauce, Green Tabasco, another type of green hot sauce, and 3 bottles of salsa…
