This is a nice house on the St. Croix river in Calais – way the hell out east in Maine. It has 3.3 acres and a cozy apartment over the garage for in-laws. It is currently leased until 2009 so it would be essentially a no-cash transaction until we decide to move in.

It’s probably too far out. I’d like a house further down the coast. It is the kind of place that I am looking for, though. I would set up a rough desk on the hill overlooking the water, but still within wifi range. I could do a little programming and a lot of writing in the company of cats and clear land, water and sky.

I don’t want to work until I die or I am too sick to enjoy life. I want to retire now. Unfortunately, my retirement fund lost about $25,000 last week, with more losses to come. It will be more life wasted sitting in a cubicle for me for a while.
