Delay of game. Are we surprised? Not really. More paper not getting to the right person at the right time. More games of phone tag. I'm only surprised by Astrocenter's prediction being off by at least a week.

Fortunately we are not directly involved in these paperwork machinations. Unfortunately, our money is. From this end, it's just a phone call saying when and what's gonna happen, followed by another phone call saying it ain't. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

It's going to eventually happen, but at present, no man or woman or real estate agent or title clerk or mortgage officer or buyer or seller... can know the hour or the day.

Earliest possible right now, with the FedEx-ing that must be done even after the papers are collected, is Wednesday. If it doesn't happen then, well, we get to sign another paper extending the deadline.

Thrilling, no?
No.
