I was on the road all day yesterday: I left here at 7:30 a.m. to drive south to Portland, where I looked at houses for much of the day, then drove north to Dover-Foxcroft for a gig, and then finally crawled home at 11 p.m.

I can't say that I fell in love with anything in Portland, though I did see one place that might be tolerable.

I hope we won't get ourselves boxed into buying a house that's just tolerable.
