Yesterday was shit.
you poop...or so i have heard...
Move to some cheap district with poor schools, quit your job, let your wife be the breadwinner, and spend lots of time with Haley.
Sort of like this: http://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2015/02/16/if-i-ran-the-school-things-would-be-different/
If you do get the big house then at least make sure that private schools are off the table.
there's coffee stouts for that!
@stoney - if you are REALLY serious about the better schools... you really should get into the Cherry Creek school district. 
Oh - and don't discount the option of choicing-in to a school if you *really* want a specific one. People 'round here do it all the time... it's more work on your part, but you'll be paying yourself with the smaller mortgage.

I think the message you're all missing is Mrs stoney is a delicate flower.@stoney - if you are REALLY serious about the better schools... you really should get into the Cherry Creek school district.

Greetings asshats. Woke up yesterday and promptly expelled the contents of my GI from both ends. Needless to say tomorrow will be my first day of work for the week.
She will be going public. The schools in the south/southeast parts of HR are top tier schools. Elementary schools are top CO rated schools, middle schools are not surprisingly the same, and the high schools - Mountain Vista and Rock Canyon - are #26 and #15 rated in the state, #746 and #501 nationally accordingly. Wifey and I both went to really good CA schools and they are far lower down the national rungs.
We missed the choice-in window and don't want to change schools on her once she gets enrolled. We want the school to be a neighborhood school, so her classmates live nearby. Also, the schools on that end of HR are in-line with the CC schools.@stoney - if you are REALLY serious about the better schools... you really should get into the Cherry Creek school district.

Trust me. We've put a lot of thought into this.
She is a very sensitive individual indeed.
I was in the Cherry Creek school district... my parents moved us east down Arapaho Road to make it happen then we ended up moving to Issaquah WA which actually had much better schools. Even as an asshole teenager I could tell the difference. That was 1979 when Highlands Rance was an actual ranch with virtually no development south of county line road. Thems were good times.@stoney - if you are REALLY serious about the better schools... you really should get into the Cherry Creek school district.

That's cool. It's like where I grew up in OC. There was basically nothing behind my house up to Costa Mesa; total freedom. Now there are two open space parks, one of which developers have tried to purchase. Very different world.
Fvck mortgages. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.
You raise a very good point.
Finally some good news today: fewer monkeys to be born out of wedlock now http://www.mywabashvalley.com/news/male-contraceptive-gel-proves-effective-in-monkeys/651718093

Looking at the long range forecasts here, that is highly unlikely. There is only 3% of developable land in the county, and no more in town. As Will Rogers said...
Some properties lost value in the recession, but all have significantly rebounded. But that is local.
You read my mind. Having one right now.
I don't think Mrs stoney is a delicate flower.
@stoney and the wonderful mrs. stone would be better served by investing the delta between their super nice home and the next superer nicerer home in some rental properties in the area.
Cash flow is retirement. Equity (edit: in property) is only a benefit to borrow against or if you cash out.

New forecast: 8-14" in Boston on Thursday. Fvck the office again! Skiing on Friday should be mint.
On a side note, there's not enough IPA in the world to release my mind from plotting some terrible revenge for the betrayal at work.

no ty for all that ice
You really want to hear about spineless shitheads in executive positions?It's story time, Uncle Hacka!
No, I didn't think so.
Job offer received. Initial offer came in a bit higher than my current salary for base pay, but with a bonus target at 15% as opposed to my current 10%, which was a pleasant surprise. Going to call tomorrow and see if I can get the base up a bit to what I would consider a slam dunk (and overall better than expected) and will accept.
Fingers crossed.

No but there could be a lesson here. For us. On bullshit to look out for.You really want to hear about spineless shitheads in executive positions?
No, I didn't think so.
Never trust anyone, especially during reorgs. Also, having a boss who is also his own boss (i.e. a VP promoted to CEO who now does both jobs) creates power vacuum that other people will happily fill.
It was sunny and in the 70˚+ toady and oddly little foot traffic in the art hood so I went to Thuper Awethum and did some riding and trail work until dark. Only had my small bar light to get back with, which made bermed switchbacks oh so not fun.
i'm saving one for tomorrow. i might stretch it out until thursday. then it's fuckit friday and all bets are off.
