I think that maybe one of the best ways to deal with the wreckage that my life seems to have become is to go through every file, every photo, every card that I’ve saved over the years and either get rid of them, or put them together in some way that makes sense. (Dumping them into a plastic box doesn’t count).

The floodgates open
Last night, I had a dream that Avery and Marley and I went swimming at Turkey Creek, and the water was extremely high. Avery had jumped in the water, which made me panic, because he cannot swim so well yet, but there he was paddling away, as I know he can, and also, miraculously, breathing too. What a relief. I then turned to Marley who took her turn jumping into the dangerously high water. Lo and behold, she also could swim. Much better than I thought she could. Continue reading “The floodgates open”
Blog updates
My friend Wade Kwon came over to help me with some updates to the blog (a thousand thank yous), and just want to make you aware of them. Will be doing more updating as time goes on, so please come back to visit often.
Just say no

More information on exhibit about the human cost of the Iraq war

A letter from family friend Dan Boudreau
I did not have the privilege of knowing Mike Prichard all my life, the way I have with some of my friends. I had known his wife Chris for years, and in fact we had just taken an apartment on Grand Avenue, when she and Mike first met. To be honest, I wasn’t sure how I felt about all of that. Chris and I were supposed to be hanging out and having fun, but she was now spending most of her time with Mike, and I was spending most of mine sulking over losing my friend. Over the next couple months, as I got to know him better, I came to realize that I wasn’t losing my friend Chris, but rather gaining another named Mike.

Anyone with an AL homebuilders license, please reply to this post. I need advice.
I am close to closing on a basket case house that Mike and I had been trying to acquire since July. It needs everything, but is in a good area (Avondale). Continue reading “Anyone with an AL homebuilders license, please reply to this post. I need advice.”
