I really don’t like The Asylum all that much. The Asylum the building. The Asylum which is filled with old people who lean on their walkers. The Asylum that is next to a strip mall. The Asylum that isn’t all that public transit friendly.
On the other hand, I love my Asylum sisters. And, it is damn nice to have pretty good food (and good company) right downstairs. So most of the time I have this weird acceptance thing going on about The Asylum.
Went chair shopping today. Ordered a stool. Funny thing is – I had that very stool when we lived in the Falls Church house. I had “urban recycled” it and Carlton painted it. Funny to have paid some serious bucks for it’s classier relative.
Also worked in the garden plot, did the dreadmill and took a nap. Busy day. Busy is good.
And today is the 17th anniversary of the blog.
I am amazed that I kept it up for 17 years. I really just do it for me, but I am always pleased to know that other people actually look at it. Thank you!
It’s kind of neat that your Blog starts before 9/11. I like to look at my family pictures on the cold night of Dec 31 1999 and think about the differences in the national psyche that came with the millennium and then 9/11. It’s odd how so many in this strong wealthy country are stampeded into voting by fear, for really shoddy candidates. Ok long enough on the soapbox. Your pictures on the other hand have been good and seem to get even better with the advances in camera/phone portability. I could for see personal computers on a desk but never how far a hand held the size of a candy bar would come.
