Are we having fun yet?

I get a frantic call from my Realtor today telling me that the Escrow company has not received by deposit check yet - In most real estate transactions, this is no big deal, because the Escrow company is in the same town, an I can drop off a new check. Well, in THIS transaction the bank that owns the house is in LA, and so is the escrow company. We also find out they won't accept my personal check, but need a cashiers check. Fortunately, I am headed up to LA to work on our Long Beach house, so I will drop off the check in their drop box. Since it is Friday night, its time to go swig few beers and relax, as the excitement will continue next week.
