My suggestion would be to rent a place down south for a couple of months during the roughest part of the winter and then look to sell your house next spring. That way it won't interfere with your Dec. deadline, plus give you more time to get things settled. <BR/><BR/>btw- Don't worry about Pale Immortal. It's a great book and I predict it will be the next USA Today bestseller for Anne Frasier. :)Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06106410070220667314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12243858.post-1149183210865104952006-06-01T10:33:00.000-07:002006-06-01T10:33:00.000-07:00I think your fall release will do fine.

I say that, of course, with no actual context for what your life is like. In other words, I'm probably talking out my ass.<BR/><BR/>Of course, you could always set fire to the house, dump the insurance payout into a shipment of black tar heroin, sell it on the street and launder the cash through an offshore account in the Caymans.
