I went to see a lady the other day about a house she wanted me to manage. Very attactive math teacher at a local community college, I was surprised at her vocabulary.
She had bought this house because it was next to hers, wanted to have some control over her world around her but knew it should not sit empty. "Right now I am in balance, but someone needs to live in this house" I agreed. She was not looking forward to the prospect of dealing with renters and hence I was called upon. I told her she had taken on a major weight, but seemed centered about it. She smiled. I think she'll like me.
I feel like a magician sometimes, running from place to place, keeping the plates spinning on the tops of quivering sticks.
