Trying to be the Gumby

I am not tolerant of wishy-washy. Weigh the pros and cons, then choose. The quality of the decision is not improved by time.

We negotiated the oral agreement on the purchase (by cell phone while driving east on route 101 and eating a tuna wrap with jalepenos).

After four days of emails between their agent and ours, we got the call (by cell while driving north on the Florida Turnpike) that the potential buyers have marital issues and aren't buying any house at this time.

Then last night as I was heading to bed, the Real Estate Agent is at our front door with a signed contract.
Of course they still need to be approved for a mortgage.

This flexibility is not one of my "core strengths."

I'm more of a 2x4.
