We’re a month in already, and I still can’t believe it: 2010. Wow.
As the saying goes, it’s the “year we make contact.” Perhaps not with those from otherworldly places, but for me, it’s definitely the year I make contact … with my refurbished home.
Let me tell you: I’m glad to be here. In this home, [...]
We waited more than two weeks for a nice, warm day. No such luck.
Indeed, for the second session in a row, we suffered from fog. Sheesh.
Nonetheless, some pretty great results — celebrating downtown, despite the fog:
The view from Macon’s Rosa Parks Square, near City Hall.
We also spent some time on the grounds of the Catholic [...]
Okay, not exactly — but this new kitchen on Wimbledon, in North Macon, is a great room to enjoy a breakfast!
Bickley Design Build Services, the folks doing the remodel on my home, noticed that I was taking some photographs — and asked me to turn my lenses towards another of their recent projects.
For the record: [...]
This past Friday night, at EJ’s loft in downtown Macon, MagTard held a launch party for their new CD. While it started at nine, I didn’t get there until almost 9:30 — but knew I had plenty of time before folks really got into the evening.
Miles and Trish were there:

I’m grateful that the huge project that has been my home remodeling is drawing closer and closer to the finish line, and I’m grateful for the attention and support from folks near and far.
Indeed, this support has been vital. Many thanks to you all.
A special call-out to these two:
Guys’ Hero Shot
Jody, on the left, is [...]
One of recent year’s highlights, as far as I’m concerned, is celebrating the bounty that is Thanksgiving with Dan and Monica.
Most of that has been about knowing great friends. Some, however, has to do with Dan’s simply-amazing turkey:
Check Twice, Eat Once
That title is a play on Norm Abram’s approach to construction, someone whose name has [...]
A while back, I donated an hour of photography time to the Crossroads Writers Conference fund raising auction; Kelly and Steve won the bid, and wanted to do a session to celebrate their engagement. (The Crossroads Writers Conference itself is in February, here in Macon.)
We started out in Washington Park, a favorite local playground for [...]
Mind you, I’m not complaining. Too much.
I could have done without the personal issues, including, among other things, a huge insult … courtesy of the Catholic Church. Hey, thanks!
Meanwhile, I’ve put the Maine photographs — and book — on hold until I can get the schedule back under control. I’m also enjoying a logo diversion [...]
Please note: I’ve added a few updates to the remodeling gallery (latest — 10/30), for those following along. (Thanks.) More soon.
While my house remodeling continues, I’m much more restricted on what I can work than I imagined. There have been several power problems, and I’m without my big computer for days at a stretch as [...]
Let me please lead off with an — or, should I say, another — apology for taking so long. Since getting home from Maine, absolutely nothing has gone according to plan.
Well, in reality since long before that … but that’s another story. (Which I might even share someday…;)
Meanwhile, visible progress on the house has slowed [...]
