Today is a day when no news is actually news.

But there is news from earlier in the week: Richard and Madeleine have found a house, made an offer, and made it through the inspection. Unless something remarkable happens, they'll be moving to Ithaca in July (closing on the house in the end of May). Apparently, the guy that inspected the previous house is notorious for scaring off buyers with his inspection reports. The realtor they're working with said that the folks who have used that inspector have failed to close on every house he's looked at for her clients. This inspector was much better and didn't scare the stuffing out of my in-laws.

Also, if you have old but decent computer equipment, take it to Babbage's Basement in Ithaca. They take all kinds of stuff, and the money for selling it goes to the ScienceCenter. And, if you need old computer stuff, check them out.
