I interviewed 2 realtors today. One of them really stood out, and thinks she can sell or lease the house in a matter of weeks. Wouldn’t that be a good welcome home present? Now we’re headed to Dallas with an eta of 8pm. In honor of Doro we decided to spend the night in her stomping grounds—Denton, TX.

The 1.3 mile hike around the tower was quite exhausting at a mile high. I thought my 2-5 mile walks a day would prepare me for it, but I was quite winded. Then we wen to Sturgis, a big motorcycle town. Not...
