Just Add Water

Floating sunsetWe saw an ad on Craigslist for a one-bedroom floating home.  I convinced Derek to schedule an appointment to see it.  He would scan the ads every day while I cooked dinner and he would talk, talk, talk, about his aspirations to finally live on the river, but it took me to click the reply link and answer the ad.  I also devised, after a few pints at the Green Dragon, with a payment plan to combine our resources.

I guess I could have added up the evidence to suspect this venture would turn out less easy than it seemed, but by the time the strategy of survival gave way to questions of contentment we had already marooned ourselves.
