Tentative housing deal reached

The Liongs and I have come to terms on my renting their old house -- assuming they are able to close on the one they're trying to buy now.

Duane asked if I would object too strenuously if he were to save on moving expenses by leaving his big-screen television. I told him my boys would probably be honked off about having that much space taken up in the living room, but that hey, it was my house, and it was going to be my rules, and they would just have to deal with it...

Anyway, here's to success for the Liongs in their bid to buy that new house (with which, I might add, Desiree is apparently head-over-heels in love).
