Besides that, I'm starting a bridge club tonight with some friends of a friend. They're my kind of group, I think. Bridge club to them isn't complete without stuffed jalapenos and homemade margaritas. I think it'll be a good time.

resounding success tbh

That wouldn't give it an intrinsic value, as gravitational fields vary. (It is assumed.)

My roommate is gone for work and I've been taking care of his cat for the past several days. She's easily the most annoying creature to live with ever. She has no problem scratching on my door to wake me up too early in the morning.

Could be worse. I can't go to sleep with my door shut, else the cat scratches at it all night long.

When my cat wants to wake me up, or wants me to feed him, or change the litter box, or come to wherever he is and pet him, he YOWLS. I'm surprised I haven't had any complaints from the neighbors. And yeah, if I close the bedroom door, he scratches at it. Then he yowls. And scratches. And yowls.

Working on a remodel project. Tough problem for me. Getting closer.

These guys are the Hamman and jlall of architecture imo. Not in our budget but still very helpful for clarifying ideas.

Bosworth is the old master. Hoedemaker is the stubborn, imaginative up and comer.

I agree that Hamman is overrated, but lame and dumb???

It was a joke, so no.

Seriously: As it is, I have absolutely no way of knowing whether he is overrated, underrated or rated.

I was in Mt. Airy, Maryland this morning looking at used bricks. I believe this is near kenberg's stomping grounds. There must be some money in this business because the owner said he owns properties in Maryland and Aruba worth $ 2+ million each and another one in Miami which he didn't give an estimate for, in addition to the business property. I've met several guys in the construction business lately who have sideline businesses as property owners. They're starting to sound like dentists. I liked this guy. He told one of the workers to cut the engine on his front loader because the noise was spooking my dog.

In Praise of the Great Bull Walrus

by Alden Nowlan

I wouldn't like to be one
of the walrus people
for the rest of my life
but I wish I could spend
one sunny afternoon
lying on the rocks with them.
I suspect it would be similar
to drinking beer in a tavern
that caters to longshoremen
and won't admit women.
We'd exchange no
cosmic secrets. I'd merely say,
"How yuh doin' you big old walrus?"
and the nearest of
the walrus people
would answer,
"Me? I'm doin' great.
How yuh doin' yourself,
you big old human being, you?"
How good it is to share
the earth with such creatures
and how unthinkable it would have been
to have missed all this
by not being born:
a happy thought, that,
for not being born is
the only tragedy
that we can imagine
but need never fear.

p.s. How about a thread that won't admit women?
