Really, don’t paint brick unless you really really have to… Ugh… Coming into work this morning, I see they are testing out paint in the lobby. This building, full of character and a freight elevator with accordion door, and here they are trying to fuck it up. Great… Now I’m going to have to look…

35″ x 84″ Naked dancing may now commence.

Not so candid cameras Monday, March 15 – Today was spring-like. No one would believe we’d have several inches of snow to brush off the car the next day. I went in to work and did lots of stuff. Lunch at the downtown mall was icky. The food sucked and the people watching was abysmal.…

This picture looks fake The day started in Columbus and it was a better day. I sped back to Cincy for an appointment, ate Chipotle with a book. Picked up the local free press – there’s a lead story about the community I’m moving into, how diverse and up-and-coming it is… I got the key…

Geek tip: To make a heart in HTML, simply type & h e a r t s ; (without spaces) Work up north started off a little rough today, it’s odd how absence makes the ♥ less fonder. I was getting a little upset and I regained some zen, putting things into perspective, trying to…

Dreaming of a Beige Christmas I’m done scouring my house for things I don’t need that look relatively unused. It was tough getting all the built-up crusty tootpaste out of the Sonicare, but I think I did a convincing job. With my new Sonicare Elite, that old one would have surely gathered dust. The shrink-wrap…

Um… On the way to lunch, I spotted this monstrosity looming on the curb in Columbus. I wonder if the folks that rent these are doing it for the sheer audacity. I’m sure if I was the type to go all out for prom, I’d consider this option, just for giggles. I wasn’t the type…

Solid, dependable, resoled many times. The shoe was under a pillowcase at the edge of my bed. I was folding laundry, picking out stuff for Goodwill, and found it. Do I feel better? Yes. I hate the nagging feeling of something lost. These were my Dad’s workshoes in the 70’s. I asked if I could…
