CYNTHIA BEARD: BTW, HONEY, I BOUGHT A HOUSE TODAY!

Just got off the phone with her and confirmed she does indeed have a contract on Mary Ellen Bendtsen’s house at 4949 Swiss Ave. It was supposed to close tomorrow, but legal matters may take a bit longer. She has no idea what she will do with the house other than gingerly restore it. I love Cynthia, woman after my own heart: She acted so quickly in buying the house on Swiss she didn’t even tell her husband–he found out when he read the newspaper.

I should try that with Walter Evans!
