I had not intended on starting this little “series” with turning the U-HAUL in but I think since it is the most fresh on my mind, well, it is appropriate. This morning found me driving well past Clinton Hill to return the 17 foot U-HAUL truck we rented in Greenville, Mississippi. I have never been [...]
Well, a new chapter in life has begun. I now live in Brooklyn, New York. I certainly didn’t anticipate this step in my life and if you had asked me a year or so ago about it I would have more or less laughed at you. However, through professional and personal turns in life I [...]

Since Tuesday Emily and I have been working at the Four Pillars Inn in Rolling Fork, MS doing some odds and ends work for the owner, our friend Nick Secoy. The odds and ends ended up being some sheetrocking, mudding, taping, sanding and then priming. Even though we knew little of what we were doing [...]
