You should have left them.  But, at least, I'm glad that he got to see
them.  I hope the buyers think the worst of us :-).

I had no idea that that bureau could be removed.  I thought it was built
in.  I guess the lesson here is that if something is supposed to be
built-in, it should be made built-in -- I should have nailed it in so it
was part of the house.  Well, next time...

The other lesson is that I should have left more than 20 minutes to review
the Purchase and Sale Agreement.  Next time, I will just let the deadline
expire if necessary, just so that I have enough time to mull over the
details.  I now realize that deadlines are for losers, and that there are
no deadlines in this world.  (Well, unless you're Saddam Hussein, of
course.  In which case, you spend $162 billion to enforce a passed
deadline.  God, what an incredible jerk George W. Bush is.)

I was wondering: in which cases did you need my Ca home address?
I wish I had asked you to only use my post office box here, but too late
now.  At least, you didn't give 'em my Ca phone numbers.  That
would have been too horrible to contemplate.
