The Avalanches: Because I’m Me
Chanced across “Because I’m Me,” by The Avalanches last week and have been hooked ever since. I think this was a video that just showed up next, after I was watching the video for still feel.

The Wall Grows
Tonight, I was late getting home (went to a chiro appointment). When I got home, Bob had already left for the day… and I was excited to see more of the bedroom wall was up – a lot more!
Unexpected Demo
Came home to find that Bob started building our new wall, between the master bedroom and our guest room/office! With all the work we’ve done to clear out this space, it’s been exciting to see all the new things that are arriving – plywood on the floor, studs for new walls.
Fridge as Example of Zeno’s Paradox
When clearing out the dining room, I was looking to move our fridge to our actual kitchen kitchen. After emptying it out, I was able to maneuver it over myself… but the measurements I took weren’t quite right.
An Extended Vacation for Daisy and Phineas
With all the upcoming work happening on the first floor, we no longer have a space for our bunny rabbits Daisy and Phineas.
The Cabinet Sled
On Sunday, Bob and Julie came back over and spent the afternoon with us. Bob helped us get the cabinets set up, and the new sink moved and plumbed in to the new countertop.
Big Supply Run
Bob ran into engine trouble with his truck on Friday, and ended up having to get it towed back to his house. With a lot of lumber already strapped to the top of it (slated for delivery here), he ended up renting a large cargo van, and reloaded tons of things to bring over to our place.
half·alive: still feel
I’m not quite looping it just yet, and not sure it will quite reach that status. But it just struck me as a super fun song. And that in and of itself seemed to make it worthy to pass along.
Seek Him as the Leaves Fall
Spotted this while walking home with Liz the other day. Once more, my heart is breaking with the knowledge that somewhere, a child is still waiting and hoping for Bobo’s safe return.
See Me at 20×2 Chicago: Why Is It Important?
I’m excited to share once again that I’ll be participating in the super fun, super awesome 20×2 Chicago in a few weeks! The prompt for this event is “Why is it important?” and everyone involved can answer the question however they like… so long as they do it in two minutes or less.
Kitchen Prep Begins
One of the things we missed, when we first added insulation to the walls, was actually stopping up some of the gaps in the walls. So while the insulation helped, the room could definitely have been sealed up a bit better.
Do Not Sit
There were a few folks in an open office nearby – probably wondering what that strange guy was doing, standing alone, laughing to himself, and wondering why he was taking a picture of a broken chair. This town is full of weirdos.
Weekend Lunch at Lagunitas
Aunt Kathy and Uncle Lanny were visiting Julie and Bob this weekend, and on Sunday they drove in to the city to hang out with us. We all met up at Lagunitas, a spot that we all enjoyed a few months back when we visited for Father’s Day.
Clearing Out the Kitchen (Again)
The game of moving things from one place to the other continues.
Edge Case Cookies
This is really just a post for me. It’s cryptic, I realize… but this is just something I wanted to post and record for myself. Future me is going to look back on this and laugh.
