According to the Sacramento County (CA) board concerned with early education, it is a list of skills that children should have when they enter kindergarten. Now think about where you work and the people around you. Perhaps a remedial class might be a good thing...
Here's a house update for you: Looks like the tenants in my condo have found a place to live and will be moving out of the condo at the end of June. My mortgage rate -- which is pretty good -- is locked until June 13, so I have to close then and become a temporary landlord, or I can push my mortgage guy to work up a new mortgage just as the lock expires. The long-term rates have fallen slightly, so this would not be a bad thing. Just have to figure out what I risk by waiting to close.... Of course, the longer I wait to move in, the worse my memory becomes -- and the better and bigger the condo is in my mind. Impatiently yours, NATHAN
