$9463.75

the place is nice, eh?
hard to say – i respond.
…
do you like it? 
i’m thinking about a companion vessel. 
is it worth the money? 
do i get a vase on the memoriam?
i’m sure it will look nicer in the spring. 
funeral service or celebration of life?
geez.
$9463.75, tax in.
and 9.4% interest, compounded monthly
for financing.
i’ll probably get the sandwich and wraps package.
but we can probably think about that later.
ya?
…
what? 
ok. maybe. no. yes. i don’t know.
my god!
it’s not like real estate.
…
but you said
…
it’s nothing like real estate! 
what was i thinking?
…
are you okay?
…
hard to say.
