Real estate crisis?....I think NOT!

Another week has rolled by as our house remains in a pending sold status. Another week rolls by as I sit here on our couch surrounded by brown cardboard boxes stuffed with our worldly possessions. Another week rolls by as our dogs tippy toe around everything in our house in an attempt to get to their chairs. My wife questioned last night if there really was a real estate crisis and who really was responsible for it....the banks?...the borrowers?...maybe aliens from outer space? As I sit dreaming that we will be in our dream home this week, I wonder what the mortgage guy is doing. Maybe he is doing his job, maybe he's drinking coffee, maybe he's on the phone telling someone elses real estate agent they should cool their jets. Maybe he should realize that my wife and I are here ready to buy an outrageously expensive house that only this experience will make me wish and hope that I die there and not have to relive this nightmare again. I only wish that I can get this guys name so I can flatten his tires and leave a business card on his windshield. Or, maybe I could call SHADOW HARE to aid me in my beckoning for help. But seriously, sometimes you wonder if the obvious cause is the real cause!
