This post has nothing to do with piranha.

Everyone should try stuff, right? If you don't enjoy it, at least you learned something, got the experience, and now have a story to tell.
(Note: By saying "everyone should try 'stuff'", I am not condoning the use of illegal drugs, fornication, Jihad, auto theft, impersonating a diplomat, suicide, homicide, genocide, some other kind of -cide, arson, cat juggling or anything else that could get you or I in orange jumper trouble.)

So why not try selling a house in the worst housing market since the Great Depression? Not exaggerating. Well...so they say. Media chaps do like to dramatize a bit. I've never sold a house before, so there's all kinds of fun things to experience for the first time. And just to make it more interesting, we'll move across the state and pay rent while still paying the mortgage. This ups the stakes. Why be boring?

My favorite new experience, thus far, is when someone drives by slow and nosy-like. As a mature, dignified adult, I frantically bolt to a window they probably can't see me through, and gawk back - willing them with my telepathic powers to call the realtor's number displayed on our sign. So far, no worky.

There haven't been any offers yet. Actually, only one couple has even stepped in to look. They were disappointed by the one-car garage...Buy two motorcycles and stop whining! But I fear someone someday will offer way low, and then when they adjust to my counter, the price will be in an awkward spot. What I mean by awkward is "too low but...". What I mean by that is if I wait a few more months for a better offer, I may break even when you account for the loss of mortgage payment I'd unnecessarily be incurring during those months.

I told you this had nothing to do with piranha.
