We're not going to die because of anything about the house, I hasten to assure you. Other than the Superfund site in the back yard, we haven't discovered anything more harmful than a little asbestos around the odd pipe.It's more that, having bought the house, we've advanced in our lives, and hence taken another step toward our inevitable mortality. The great wheel of generations has rolled ponderously around and this time we're actually feeling it roll right over us. Or, okay, I am. I don't think Jen is having the same concerns at all.
(Photo note: This alarming vision is what you get when you stand facing a floor-length beveled mirror, with a second floor-length beveled mirror through the doorway behind you. It seemed like an appropriate image for the topic. But just look at all them beveled mirrors!)
