Things are moving along like crazy on my new house!<\/a> Contracts are signed. The home inspector is lined up for Monday. Roofers should be trooping by and giving estimates any day now. By Tuesday I expect to know whether it’s a go.<\/p>\n

In any case, I’ll be packing and very shortly heading off on a cross-country trip. The very same Leslie who found the house and is handling most of the chaos also found me a Plan B — a super dog-friendly rental I can take if the sale falls through. So no matter what happens, I’m out of here and I’ll be busy.<\/p>\n

Because I can’t blog every day, even in the best of times, I thought I’d take a page from Radley Balko<\/a> and occasionally just open up a comment-thread discussion.<\/p>\n

So to give it a try, let me start with a question. Three related questions, actually:<\/p>\n

1. What is your #1 personal freedom skill?<\/p>\n

2. What additional skill would you most like<\/i> to have?<\/p>\n

3. And what are you doing, or planning to do, to develop that other skill? (Or, if you feel that skill is out of your reach, why is that?)<\/p>\n

Hope a lot of people will jump in. I suspect that the category of “freedom skills” is larger and considerably more varied than a lot of us imagine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
