and i can't stop thinking how much michael would have enjoyed it.

come gentle night. come loving black browed night
give me my romeo. and when he shall die
take him and cut him out in little stars
and he will make the face of heaven so fine
that all will be in love with night
and pay no worship to the garish sun. william shakespeare

That has to be a good feeling. The mortgage part, I mean.

By the way, if you are missing mortgage payments, I'd be happy to give you one of mine.

Le sigh. Oh to be free. At the moment I will have to settle for pretending the tax deduction is worth the trials and tribulations of co-owner ship with the bank.

Congratulations! I remember my parents being so proud when they did so. (then they retired and moved to MD, and are back on the mortgage train.)
If I'm lucky, we'll do so when I am 65-ish. Earlier, if we can pay ahead!

That's excellent news code monkey! I hope you get to do some fun stuff with the money that used to go towards the mortgage - like travel for example! I'm certain Michael would be very pleased with you.

that is soo cool. I doubt we will be alive when that happens (no dark humor intended, just a reality). It's wonderful that you have less to worry about
