have been spending some time reaching old friends

of late.  and one actually found me recently (this morn.)

that i really didn’t think i’d ever see on the facebook

inter…face. but thought i should post something new since

that last post was kinda sappy and people are probably

getting tired of seeing it up.

i also found these comix on some site and really liked the

low-light, heavy-handedness of them; if anyone knows

who this artist is, lemme know.  good stuff…

the more things change.

but some things remain very-much the same.

love, friendship, respect, affinity: for example.

this week i have had the unprecedented privilege of

re-connecting with perhaps some of the most influential

people i’ve ever known or hope to know.

i say ‘unprecedented’ because there was a time that i

rather divorced myself from many of these people and

have felt, for years, that i’d never be in contact with them

again, despite how much i may have hoped.  when i fell off

the surface of the planet and went into insanity for nearly a

decade, i never would have thought that i’d have the opportunity

to speak to a few people; indeed, i have long thought that i

scarce had the ‘right’ to speak to several for myriad reasons.

having been raised in a military family it was always a reality

that as a kid you might make friends, know them for a few years

and never see them again due to the geographical dislocations

germane to the military way of life.

it’s good to hear from and to have communication with

(most) all of my olde studio mates from landscape architecture

school and a few other ‘mates’ from those years that were in

studios in Vol Walker.

today i throw up some props to an old friend.

the best man @ my wedding and a true journeyman

through this ether and tripe that we call life.

if you need some graphic design, photography,

someone to sign your forehead or put you @ the

top of their prayer list, check it out over @

here’s a pic of the president of bcd and me chillin’

at the opening of ajax to snowboarders back in 2001.

good times…

here’s another picture of spike and bruiser.

this was taken during their first winter in CO.

there’s about 14″ of snow on the patio outside

the door and they aren’t sure what to make of it.

ok, i know dr. keen will give me a hard time for this one, but.

this week, a year ago, was the last week that our sweet bruiser

was with us so this week will be a tribute to him.

i found some pics of him and spike @ the old place before we moved.

so here’s a pic in remembrance of a damn fine feline.

the recent absence of a computer has greatly affected my ability

to post of late (as in the last two or three months). so here’s what’s

been going on.

jordan and associates moved to a kick-ass new office building and we

moved ’round the beginning of the year. the office was incorrectly

‘plumbed’ @ the utilities pedestal conduit-building location and less than

two weeks into the building about 1/2 of the office flooded. i’d elaborate,

but suffice it to say that we were entrenched with blowers, subcontractors

and finish folk for about a week to get things back in order.

then it flooded again.

that’s when we found the actual problem with the conduit and fixed it and

the freshly-re-wetted floors and baseboard mouldings…joy.

meanwhile back @ the condo:

we’ve added a few things to our living area.

erin has painted some choice walls a happy tomato red and for her

birthday @ the end of feb. we added a full trap drum kit to our inventory.

these are the drums:

and here’s the reaction:

i think she likes them.   and, yes, she wails.

hope everyone has been doing well.

the last few weeks have seen unprecedented progress to the life of the condo.

we have laid down 90% of the door casing and base-board moulding in the

downstairs.  only lacking some peices in the kitchen and a few headers on

doors and we’ll be finished with the hanging part.  next will be putty, sand, paint.

but at least we are no longer providing wee critters from black-ops infiltrating

our much-warmer-than-outside abode.  i don’t have pics yet ’cause some of

my corners are horrible.  but will post some soon.  like, before MAY at least.

in the mean-time, here’s a photo erin took when we were in new york this fall.

west point.

hey everyone. things are progressing slowly @ the new condo.

life has a way of happening…

i’ve recently added some renderings and such to a ‘gallery‘ page

which you can access by clicking on the bne logo on the ‘services‘.

right.

i don’t post anymore.

i really appreciate you folks that have been

looking on the site to see if anything has

happened in the near-distant past. but

little-to-nothing has.

we took a little vakay to NY recently

with mom and step-dad.

fantastic time, and i’ll be posting pics

shortly. as soon as i get them to a web-managable

size.  but it might be a little while before that

actually happens as i have become a bit lazy

of late.

here’s an image to keep you placated…ground 0

stagnation that is.

this past week has been fantastic.

got to see the bros for a few days.

got to watch some college football.

got to see a 7 point lead get erased by

total idiocy and bad play-calling and

lack of secondary…

and to accompany all of the visitations (of bad spirits)

with the brothers and such we haven’t done a DANG

thing on the house save some laundry in the last week.

but today i think i’ll add some doors to the mix.

nothing like having your mom and da stay over without

doors on the bedroom their going to be sleeping in, or the

bath that everyone has to use…yeah…i’m not embellishing

any of that.

but i’ll leave you with a little travellin’ music.

sorry it’s not US making this hit.
