Fire!

[szasz]

There was a minor disaster in downtown Champaign Friday morning. An historic, 130-year-old building that was being renovated into lofts burned to the ground. Apparently it collapsed into the street just moments after the firefighters arrived, and then the massed pile of wood burned like a giant bonfire for an hour before they got it under control

I've been meaning to ask, how come you are moving from your awesome house to an apartment? (If you don't mind me asking) :-)

[szasz]

How come? This house is too big for the two of us, and the house is so old that it's hard to maintain. Downsizing will help us with housework, and having a new and modern place that's right downtown near the night life and stores just suits our lifestyle more.

Also, there was kind of a ton of old relationship baggage in the house. If you remember all that.

Wow that's crazy.
