Lease: signed. Now we need to get keys. The call goes in later today.
A mischievous Irish friend told me "Cead mile failte" means "You can have then van" in Gaelic. I actually believed him for a second, because I don't know a shillelagh from shinola. Fortunately, the internets saved meIn honor of the internets, I will present to you what Joe ( Read more... ) -
