–Took Grace shopping at Bel Air.
–Stopped at UPS to pick up a boatload of stuff, including liver of sulfur. Finally got it all entered into my spreadsheet.
–Vicolo pizza for dinner.
–Spent a lot of time looking atcoastal real estate. Figured a way to maybe buy something for a million: $400k down from my cash stash, $4k/month mortgage payments from my IRA. This would be the same draw-down as I’m doing now ($50k/year), and so should not have disastrous tax consequences. And there’s no 10% early withdrawal penalty since I’m over 59-1/2. PROBLEM IS: leaving a house empty 90% of the time invites crime, whereas HOA dues on a safe condo are $1–$1.5k a month. And of course the million dollar floor is mostly fixer-uppers, a mile from the beach, Seascape, etc. CRAP!!
–Took a shower and shave. I was hoping that small scab at the bottom of my pacemaker scar would come of, but it didn’t. I don’t think it’s threatening, but it is annoying.
