Orange County Preparation

Not much to write about lately. We haven't sold the condo. I just received my I-20 papers. Otherwise very little is going on.

I have started to prepare for the O.C. lifestyle. I have been watching episodes from seasons 1&2 of Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County. It is good to know that rich American high school kids get absorbed over the same types of ridiculously miniscule issues that Canadian high school students do. I just can't believe how Jason treated LC! You better not re-hook up with him in The Hills, LC. Oh, the drama!

I hope all fellow MBA'ers are enjoying the summer. I have yet to get out to golf once (O.K. partially my fault, the one day I could have went golfing I stayed home hung over).

Final note: Is it just me, or do Americans have to be insane to accept this confusing health care system of "co-payments" and "specific providers" given the country's wealth? Discuss amongst yourselves...

Cheers.

Burning the Bridges: Condo is Up for Sale

To paraphrase a famous general: to keep your troops moving forward burn all avenues of retreat.
Lindsey and I burned one more bridge by listing our condo for sale this week (see listing here). The London market appears to be peaking, so at worst we will catch the start of the backslide of prices (better than the tail end).

I haven't seen many comments lately. Makes one wonder if anyone is listening.
