So we went house-hunting yesterday. Here are a few of the things that I learned:

1. My feelings about a house are very strongly keyed to how welcoming the entry is.
2. However geeky you think you are, if you don’t have a Captain Kirk collector’s porcelain plate, you are not that geeky.
3. People who smoke can’t smell smoke and therefore don’t think you can.
4. Matt loves big yards.
5. People laugh when you identify the stone the bathroom counters are made of.
6. Apparently helping Matt and his wife buy a house when Matt was in kiddie soccer with your son makes you feel very old.
