“I’ve heard a rumor…”

We have a winner! The first of our clients confronted me last night with the “I’ve heard a rumor” statement. With dozens of people in our relatively-small city who are in-the-know about our plans, or at least the basics of them, it was only a matter of time. Fortunately we have planned to tell all this coming weekend, first in person to those attending our “empty-house” party, and following that by email to the rest of our clients. Weeks ago I drafted a letter for just this occasion but I have been waiting to send it out until we had more things solidified. I would prefer to wait a bit longer still but we are just no good at keeping secrets. We are confident that once the shock wears off most people will be happy for us (we hope)!
