Scanning Grandfather's Civil War Letters

Dad speaks at the tail end of this little video.

It's Happened!

2 months ago, my landlord asked me to move out, so he “could reclaim the space.” I was already talking to my girlfriend about buying a house together. I could not really afford to do it alone.

So…Wow! We bought a great house last Friday and are trickling things in.

For those that care to compare, it is a 1925 American Foursquare, in an older neighborhood that is in pretty good shape. We paid $187,500 for it. Here’s a link, (with the realtor/owner’s furniture in it): http://www.flickr.com/photos/wahig/2477661522/in/set-72157604767104121/

What If?

What would it be like if I could be truly honest in my blog?

Ogilvy and Mather India has shown interest in this photo? Will I be famous on the Indian sub-continent? Stay tuned.

I have set up shop on Etsy. I'd love it if a stranger found and bought one of my notecards. Let's see what happens!

It has been a week since I got back from Memphis for my training, which was good by the way.

This shot is from the secretary's office in the old Sun Studio, where Elvis was discovered by Sam Phillips.

For those that actually read this thing, I am reading the Bible a lot, though I am still ambivalent about church.

Worker and I went to Seagrove, North Carolina this weekend. It was so cool -- as in neato-o! Weather was perfect too. It's only 4 hours from my city! Over 100 potters in the area and we went to maybe 10 galleries total on Saturday afternoon and Sunday mid-day/. Awesome work! Can they make a living? We sure hope so. The potter in this shot was not even one of the best, in my opinion, but he had a nice studio.

Well, tonight I went out to eat with Dr K. I'm just using the pic of my living room as an anchor. I only took the photo for my friend The Home Stager, but some flickr people seem to like it.

I am working full-time now, which means I can go back to the dentist and therapy come October. The job is going okay. We have an easy week, which means I am ahead on my monthly reports and that gives me some breathing room. Maybe I can actually take time to think clinically instead of just trying to keep up with the paperwork. I don't mind doing it, but there are lots of jots and tittles.

Thinking also foo taking on short-term roommates to help with the budget deficit. We'll see.

Oh Brother

Well, I did NOT get the job that I thought I was a shoo-in for. Now I must apply in earnest elsewhere.
