I married a woman that owns a house. Otherwise I would never have been able to buy a home where I live. And it has been a sanctuary for 2020. I can sit in my fenced back yard, under my 100-foot tall Douglas Fir tree (named, "Doug", of course) and work in my shop, underneath Doug's shading branches.

I know many people who live in apartments. I know many single people who live in apartments.

I'm not sure I would be ok, if I did not have my house.

And that privilege is very much front-of-mind for me, every single day.
