The Mountain Palace...

...is no more.  If you've known us, you probably know we own a little house in Blue River, Colorado, which is about three miles south of Breckenridge.  We bought the house back in 2005, used it for a year, and then we rented it when we moved to Ohio.  It is a charming and quaint little place (both are words realtors can use to hide flaws, but they do accurately describe the property).  We had intended to move there someday.

Alas, I should say, "owned" a house in Blue River because on Thursday, we closed on the sale of the house.  Thus, after ten years, we are back to having only one mortgage.  This turn of events might shock some people, but fear not.  As I alluded to in previous emails, there are some big things going on in McGuirk-land (note the 's' on things).  This is the first of two big announcements.  I'll hold on the second announcement for another month or so (think of this email as the Star Wars Force Awakens teaser trailer).  More to follow.  Happy Saturday.
