Here’s the deal. I sent the Butcher to drive by a house this morning and see if it looked okay (it’s a foreclosure, but it doesn’t appear to have been stripped and the price, if it’s in okay condition, is almost too good to be true) and if the neighborhood is okay (it’s just down the road a bit from some of the Butcher’s best friends, in an area of town that seems like it should be ripe for development, if, indeed, folks want to move inside the Briley Parkway loop).
So, that was his task, drive by and give the house a quick look-over and the neighborhood an good eye-balling.
When I got up this morning, I had a text message that said
“42 is okay.”
What, my teenage readers or parents of teenagers, do you think, in this context “42″ means?
Edited to Add: I just talked to the man and he was trying to tell me that the 4200 block of Ashland City Highway is just fine.

Okay, I was intrigued so I googled it.
Douglas Adams?
For two [people].
NM, if that’s the case, then I think he’s looking at the wrong house, because this house has like four bedrooms and three baths. I was thinking of moving the redheaded kid in with us if we decide to buy it; it’s that big.
I’m going to have to call him when he gets off work.
Yeah, the answer to life, the universe, and everything is okay. or he meant to enter “it” and is just a sloppy texter.
Geez folks. I guess I just don’t wake up early enough to beat everyone too the the Hitchhiker’s Guide references.
Its part of the address, no?
it’s the number of homes you have looked at so far!!
For two.
As in…
seats for two.
house for two.
=)
How about “fortuitious”? Meaning you’re lucky that it “is okay.”
Cryptic messages are a way of confusing the bad-luck demons that keep screwing-up your attempt to buy a snorklefrick.
