STOP!

    Don't read any further until you've read my previous entry. The first link at the bottom of that page comes right back to this one, so don't worry about losing your place. But you need to read that first to appreciate this one, and you need to have not read this one to appreciate that one.

    Hey, why did you keep reading? This isn't Grover trying to play a game, this is me saying that you really should read my previous entry before reading any further.

    Okay. We'll presume that by now you've read about my collection conundrum, my transportation troubles-- my piano problem. Well, I may have found a solution. Not a good solution, or a reliable solution, or even an inexpensive solution, but a solution that is arrived at using Occam's Razor.

    Have a piano, need a place to put it. Where does one put pianos? In one's house.

    So I put in an offer to buy a house.

    The upside of this is that I would have a great place to put my piano. There are a few downsides. I already signed a lease elsewhere for this year, so would need to either do some fast subletting or lose a whole lot of money. Also, I don't really make much money, so even if I manage to get out of my lease, I'll be in debt for the next 30 years. Oh, and the house is in a different town than my job, so transportation could definitely be an issue. However, I will point out that my careful reasoning for acquiring the piano also holds here:

    It seemed like a good idea at the time.
