This process has been all talk from the beginning.  Now things are becoming much more real.  For example - I pulled up in front of my house yesterday to see a "ForSale" sign on the lawn.  It's easy to talk about selling your house but when that sign acutally goes up it kind of punches you in the gut.  I can defintely say that I am really going to miss this house.  Of course talk to me in December when I am still wearing shorts.  I thought about it the other day - it will be awhile until I have to shovel snow again.  The winter lows at Ras Tanura are about 60 on a cold day.  Nope.  No snow there.  I guess there are no snow days for the school either.  Hmmm.  They do have sand storms.  Sand days??
