If I am repaired, can we meet again for the first time, in all of the places I have feared to go, and then, again, in all of the places I will have forgotten, if I am repaired?

So...


... I’m restoring this old house. Like, 1829 kind of old. Real crusty. I’m thinking of starting a new blog to document the process. I know, I hardly write at the blogs I have. But, I really need to make the effort public, see if I can’t stir up some interest in the place. Some interest with money. Maybe add a PayPal link for small donations. Something.

     The folks who own it (members of the original family, no less), are putting up a pretty good chunk of change and I’m donating labor to some extent. But I don’t know that it’ll cover the entire restoration. We’ll see.
     Anyway, that’s one of the things I’ve been up to. One of the reasons I haven’t been posting much. Plus it’s spring, and the damn grass needs cutting every fifteen freakin’ minutes. Weak apology, but hey, work with me. I’m a busy dude.
