Needed: Miracle Max

Traci and her mom are avid participants in the art of looking at houses that are for sale, hoping that someday, the dream house will be there. That day may have been yesterday, when we toured the house in this picture (the picture does not show it off very well).

The house is on ten acres of nice land, about 20 minutes from my university. Good-bye suburbia, hello country life. Maybe.

Today we went back for a second look at the house, and I'm thinking that we need about five miracles to make this happen. So, in honor of the quest for miracles, here are some lines from Miracle Max, of The Princess Bride (one of the best movies ever made - and even better book) fame.

Miracle Max says, "You rush a miracle man, you get rotten miracles."
* Good to remember - we'll be thorough and patient.

Miracle Max also says, "Sonny, true love is the greatest thing, in the world-except for a nice MLT - mutton, lettuce and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomato is ripe. They're so perky, I love that."
* Again, good point. Perhaps we'll raise some sheep. They can hang out in the pasture and four-stall barn -- until they become sandwiches.

And finally, Miracle Max says, "Have fun storming the castle!"
* Bring it. We will.
