Catching up.
Random notes from this (very busy) week:
We’ve rented a place up in town. It’s sort of Midtown South, or Museam District East, depending on how you look at it. If you drive past a nice old building with the word “GRANDA” on the front in tile, that’s us.
The apartment’s not big enough for all our stuff, of course (especially since we kept having to acquire more stuff to fill the house up enough to be attractive enough to sell). We’re starting to sell off our old furniture on Houston Craigslist (which is a lot more active than it was last year around this time). If you’re in H-town and want bookshelves or a beautiful drafting table, get in touch.
The first casualty: Our kitchen table and chairs, which we bought in Boston for our first apartment, in 1999 California for our second apartment, in 2000. [Update 4/22: E reminds me that in Boston we had a built-in banquette outside the kitchen, so we had no need for a table; when we got to California we had to break down and get one.] We sold it to a couple of nice Rice kids who appreciated the deep satisfaction I got from Tetris-ing the entire set into their Mazda 6.
E is up in Dallas this weekend visiting K, who is due some time next month. That means I have the weekend to catch up on Battlestar Galactica. (Which means I already blew through the remaining episodes of the season tonight. Good fracking stuff.)
So, there you go. Just so you know I didn’t fall in a hole, or something.
