Kinda Cool!

We had a visit from Jeanne Shaheen who is campaigning for the Senate. She stopped in to our shoppe and talked with Alyssa and Patti as well as visiting other local businesses. Kinda cool!

get on what? I did see the new batman and I agree heath was very very dark but appropriately so. That was little scummy.

I think I am going to set up some lights and try to get a really cool photo of old smokey - I am still working on my plan.

Maybe I will feed scout to him and then get a real cool feeding shot - paybacks for the shoe.

"I'll start to work on that"....

Oh yes, feeding your faithful dog to the bear would make a WONderful photo-op. (did I spell that right?) You'd be as haunted as me...no time for last pet my four-legged friend.

Pandora.com (I feel) would be more for personal use, not so much for the shop. Don’t take this personally – The cool thing about Pandora is that you can take let’s say one of the three bands you know (3EB, Feist and Blue October) and then it picks bands that have similar band demographics, song structure, sound and instrumentation.

Before you know if you might have like eight bands to listen to and a whole new world will be opened to you.

Serious Note: If you ever really want to get in touch with the voices,, you need to sit alone in the dark (maybe at the shop) and listen to Interpol (heinrich maneuver, Evil and Leif Erikson – don’t veer to far from these they can get a little creepy, then move to Hallelujah and So Real “Jeff Buckley” (make sure you listen to Hallelujah at least three times in a row) and then let the evening fan out with The Editors and some Madeline Peyroux (she lived in my house with me and my roommates for a few weeks in Nashville during a season of vocal rest ((AKA loser mode for a vocalist))– I asked her to let me record her for a studio project she agreed after some coaxing and a little gas money – I had to promise not to tell Sony. Don’t dive into the coffee until you get to the Editors…

I really don’t mean to be so bossy – but DO IT!! You won't be disapointed!!

I have only been a fan for about 6 months. She rocks...are you lying?

She was staying with my friend Mike and his wife and she got kinda sick of them - so she moved in - Mike lived across the street so we had gotten to know her so it wasn't that weird. I came home from being gone for a weekend and she had all of her clothes and undies and stuff on a makeshift close line in our kitchen, our drier was broke - she was really embarassed, I was really laughing! True story - I kinda had a one week "bad girl that sings about drinking and new york and stuff" crush. About a year later she became a Christian.

You called me a lier.

It's hillbilly night at the park in Winter Park tonight - so see ya.

Hey your coffee comes tomorrow - you should be very afraid..

alcor said...

If you're not lying I am in awe. Was she nice? Beautiful? Or did the beauty begin after she opened her mouth. It's best then-- in my opinion (coming from one who avoids "happy birthday" whenever possible)...

alcor said...

ooop, sorry, have fun!

Anonymous said...

You are such a groupie!!! That story only scratches the surface. One time she played a song sitting on our couch and was like "here, take the guitar, give me one you got" I was like "oh crap" I barfed something out, not so sure she was that impressed. No she was really cool and humble..

I want you to be able to sleep tonight so I will have to save more stories for another time.

You mean "more" in awe!!

I hope you are breakin' from the billy's to check out the moon on occasion. He is KICkin' tonight. Seems to be saying, "little miss sunrise aint' got nothin' on me"...of course interpretation could be muddled at 200k miles....but I doubt it....

Any one thirty am driveway visitors last night?? I can't believe you didn't give your precious brother any advise.

alcor said...

Far too observant. Save that for P.E.I.

Essentially it's the quest and filtering process that leaves only that which is most pure and most necessary in life, in love, in general.

The rudimentary yet essential principals--- I'm talking primarily below the surface, but I want to adopt externally in more ways as well. The cabin by the river, the windmill, the gardens, the hermit--with exposure only when I am filled to the point of overflowing. Art show in Denver by the Tattered Cover, the NY Gift Show, Santa Fe, Portland---offer 2 weeks of Art Therapy at my oasis in the nowhere--just enough exposure to give something, to offer something to the world-and then spend the rest of the time in hiding...just like the seasons, when you're ready to lose it--fall opens it's door.

Major stories behind it all, but that's over Peaberry on P.E.I. (when I lose my mind).

Anonymous said...

You know the funny thing - you doubt my truthful story but I think the real fibber here is you. I don't think you have actually ever heard of madeline and you just blurted out "I love Her!!" to save face for not ever hearing of any of those bands or artists.

That's my theory...

Therefore I emailed her this morning and asked her to send you a nice groupie email, I told her you were retarded but a huge fan (in you're own special needs way) so she might even call and offer to do a benefit concert for your therapy or something.

Don't mess with me!!

alcor said...

Of course getting new jeans, wife beaters, and soul feedings at only the finest retailers nationwide fits into that. Why am I not more boxable.....clothes. I love them--and I have to shave my pits or they get itchy. The legs can get hairy, that's fine--the hairer they get the more fun it is when I finally shave them...

babble babble--I need coffee....off to the shop

I also told her you wear a helmet like the girl in Garden State - don't want no dandilions cracking your gord or moustache.

I love the tattered cover, was just there a couple weeks ago reading about Bungalow Architecture and table thingys...

She is on my I-tunes!!!! Only the most beloved enter into that realm...

Did you really send her an e-mail? So is she a thong girl or granny panties? Or did you cover your eyes while you were laughing at the laundry? (far too good J. Glenn--I am glad Erin has you swearing)

Still no e-mail from Ms. Peroux! It being you filled her in on my special needs I hoped to get one by now...

I am not going to tell Patti that you know her until I really know you do...(Patti introduced me knowing she'd be up my ally--Patti has her degree in music/business too. She used to manage bands in NYC until she met Dave and moved to NH to have a family--now she's stuck with me) I don't think you've lied to me other than that whole bad breath chic misleading thing; however you do enjoy mockery and this could fit the bill.

I wouldn't lie about MP (I didn't really send her an email though - I can if you want) I will try and find the masters from the recording session - it was really cool - she played this one song, ah crap I can't remember the dude that wrote it, he is dead now. "Drink up baby don't say a word da da daaa beneath the something" crap!! - I will look it up. All sorts of great super cool music stories from the Belmont days.
June 13th we had our last snow storm - August 15th we got our first snow - I am pretty sure I will get home to the lodge packed, a Uhaul on order and my wife loading the car for Florida, my Mt. days may be numbered... Double Crap - Feel free to tell your lady about Maddy P. cuz it be true dog. She actually would probably much rather play the Apotheeca stage over some big classy venue, oops I mean large venue, thats her style.

So did you try the P-berry??

Did it rock your world?

No I wasn't building your table mainly because there is no "your table" since you cant be trusted with the brush and bucket.

This is the tune that caused my one week crush - totally a producer/engineer to artist fling..

Between the Bars"" Mr. Elliot Smith wrote this tune before he killed himself - did you check the Jeff Buckley ,,Hallelujah,,?

Drink up, baby
Stay up all night
Things you could do
You won't but you might

The potential you'll be
You'll never see
Promises you'll only make
Drink up with me now
And forget all about
Pressure of days
Do what I say
And I'll make you okay
And drive them away
Images stuck in your head

People you've been before
That you don't want around anymore
That push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still

Drink up, baby
Look at the stars.
And I'll kiss you again
Between the bars
Where I'm seeing you there
With your hands in the air
Waiting to finally be caught

Drink up one more time
And I'll make you mine
And keep you apart
Deep in my heart
Separate from the rest
Where I like you the best
Keep the things you forgot

The people you've been before
That you don't want around anymore
That push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still

That is hot! You did realize it was all about the bottle of course, but I am sure i would have been in love.
I saw that she'll be in Boston! I may ask Josh to go with me...


Of course I knew it was you.

alcor said...

BTW, I did check out Mr. B and I listened three times as instructed. Interpol. Leif Erikson was interesting...(In AK I went to school with a kid named Leif Erikson--I was always the fastest Math quizzer in the class--of ten people--until the stupid Viking showed up. I hated Math every since) I found Heinrich Maneuver to be especially poignant...Evil was cool. I was kinda lost on where to go with the Editors. Some I liked and some I didn't.

My Java Tree didn't show today...alas, dark perfection must wait.

Play with Erin in the snow more and perhaps she will learn to love it--although that is an awfully short summer! If not, take her on a vacation. I am sure she deserves it from having to put up with you.


Come on...I won't paint it.

Feeling a bit like a rebel - sitting here at the Judges bench of the judicial center - the big grand opening is monday and we have been cranking all weekend to get everything done.

I have been haning out with my friend Buffy Dindinger (buffy's cleaning service) her and her crew are pretty much always the last subcontractor on site to do final clean.
Our assistant superintendent spent the night here last night, so I told him to beat it and i would hold down the fort (kinda scary).

Thought I would take a break, enjoy the almost complete view and just chill on judge judy's computer for a moment or two.

We don't self perform any of the trades of work - we embark in pre-construction, provide bids for the jobs to the owner's and architects, then we value engineer the project to get it back under budget when the stinking architects come in over a million high, then when the project is approved by the owner's representation firm we contract the job. We then buy out (hire subcontractors) the job and run it with project managers (office nerds like myself - I get out into the field about ten hours a week) and field superintendents. I work daily with the architect to submit questions and show him/her why there stinking drawings won't work (architects are never wrong - they take a year of college just studying how to sherk liability) the engineers to resolve the questions and the owner to assure them that there are no questions and that everything is perfectly under budget and ahead of schedule. We provide submittals on every peice of the project from the cover plates on an electrical plug to the mechanical, pool, electrical, concrete etc... components of the job. I have totally had to learn how to be organized. I have managed one custom house ( the craftsman style) and the rest of the projects that I manage are commercial.
That is what I do and how we as a company operate. BVC is running the rec center project.

I gotta run I think Judy is coming in or something.. Plus i think some blue tape is calling my name..

My description was somewhat vague and rushed as I am pretty sure i have now committed some sort of felony. I will add more detail later.

What's a canoly?

alcor said...

WOW.....So you are the go-between-er that is the get-er-done-er-delegator that ensures nothing less than ahead of schedule perfection. All of the detail that must go into that would make me explode!

Could be stressful...but could be quite exhilarating to see a project on paper and then carry it through to being a live, breathing, functioning THING--standing there before you, saying, "hey, good job, I'm here!"

So what are the floors in picture 1?

Bummer about Elliot Smith. I really like his stuff.

Listening to Jeff again right now...of course Hallelujah is amazing...the others I need to digest when people aren't in the shop...like right now.

With all of the changes I am having a really hard time connecting with what i am doing...balancing being open to growth, making payroll, and rent..while BEing with customers and being true to what the space is all about--among other things. My head has been spinning more than usual these days.

I should think about going home soon. The kids were here all day and SO good. After a full day of sunshine we had a thunderstorm....they got to see hail for the first time! We were eating it off of the porch. I'm sitting by one of the doors where the old mail slot used to be...somewhere along the way the hardware for it was lost; so it's here subtly gaping open...there's this breeze that keeps finding it's way through...my arm hasn't been able to shed the goosebumps for over an hour now; but I can't quite get myself to move either--it's kinda of like being out in the moonlight but in the comfort of my yellow-with- green-cushion chair. --The two atmospheres colliding in a pleasantly removed manner.

Good luck this weekend. Good Job : ) Monday will be a happy, blue tape-less, well-deserved day.

BTW, I like him--he's better listened to alone.

alcor said...

a cannoli...mmm. It' s this delectable little pasty filled with whipped ricotta cheese that's sweetened perfectly, lightly, wonderfully and topped with just a bit of powdered sugar....served with an italian style latte (slightly burned and a bit strong) it is Boston evening perfection....

Anonymous said...

I am back at the office, no more rebellion that was more stressful that anything on this project - those judges are A-holes..

Do your kids come to the shop often - that has to be a complete and incredible blessing. I am sure they get a bit bored but that has got to be really cool. I would agree that JB is better listened to alone. Interpol is not one of my favorite bands but they do fall into that interesting realm.

you are totally right when the air and the people and the sounds are just competely perfect you have to sit and stay. The rain, hail the snow the smell its what makes it what it is. I went for a walk two nights ago with scout - we went exploring a bit, it was cool enough for me to wear my old red flannel, I will be buried in it if I have any say, and whenever I am walking with the red flannel, the sun is just about to set and you get that last burst of glorious light/color across the earth, my mind was sceaming with peace. I found these incredibe 12 x 12 x 30 foot beams that I believe were left from an old cabin or barn (we have a few log barns on the land) along with some huge timbers and beams, tomorrow they will be drug into the machine shed and they are going to be cut for the tops of the first few tables. I am excited because they have all these old holes and shackle anchors and such - they are really cool. I can get more excited over a chunk of wood with incredible grain or detail, somewhat weird but I don't really care.
So whats the head of one of the likes of ARV/ARB all spinning about these days or was that just linguistic filler. How the crap do you (the florist portion or all that you do) put together a wedding - now that would be intimidating. I would rather face three owner's rep a crabby architect and role of blue tape a mile long than a freakin bride to be poured out in the moment. AHHHH

I know that color--That color (just before the sun makes it's way down yonder) is so great...I think that if hope had a color that would be it. I tried to capture it once but failed miserably.

Yes, the kids do come in a lot. When they aren't with me or at school they are with Matt or mom and dad--no daycare ever (speaking of Hallelujah). I have a kids design station in the back area--Brynne can literally sit for hours coloring and "designing". She made her first multi-media piece the other day (one that didn't involve glitter as the "multi") she had a row of 4 leaves, 1 old piece of metal (that's my girl!!!) and then another leaf. She signed it "B Y N" --said that was all she could remember--and gave it to Foxy Roxy. Noah likes to make forts, contraptions, and climb up the pole whenever I'm not looking...and play his DS. I am blessed. Even though they drive me to madness at times, there's an indescribable feeling of wholeness when I can do what I need to do, but they are right there next to me.

The wood sounds great! What an awesome find. Can't wait to see the veer steps on that one.

Alas, the head spinneth--no linguistic filler.

As far as the weddings, the only way I can get into is to treat it as an interpretation; and I only want brides that I can connect with. If I don't feel it, I refer them to my friend Rich at the Royal Bouquet. I have only had one pain in the butt bride out of oh gosh, I don't know how many! I ask them to gather bits of inspiration, fabrics, images, paper--even if it has nothing to do with wedding flowers it tells me a bit about who they are and their style. I ask them to ponder "what about you as a couple would you like to express" even if they cant answer it right away, I make them come up with something...beauty, design, style without meaning is crap. I want nothing to do with crap--even if it helps to pay the bills.

Would you tell me what the freakin' floor is made out of??? picture number 1? Is it painted concrete?

alcor said...

Fine...I was sick of talking to you anyway....


Timeline. I am really not very good with time--or frames of time--or being on time....but I will try.

1996 graduated high school and received the Dean's Scholarship at Crown (yehaw) so I went that fall.

Fall of 1996 befriended lots of groovy peeps--including JGlenn, a cute-cocky-prick with a killer voice among many other notable attributes connected to personality, humor, character, etc.

Summer of 1997 worked at Subway and Merlin's Family restaurant and spent WAY too much time looking at the calendar.

Fall 1997 went to camp. AKA, Camp Wedcloud.

Summer 1997 moved to Grand Junction

Moved to MN at some point?? Went to school at St. Cloud State while worked in the floral department at Crafts Direct in St. Cloud

Winter 1999 engaged, continued to go to school, work, started "arting" a bit and planning a wedding.

Spring 1999 married

Fall 1999 moved to Texas. Never been more depressed in my entire life. Thankfully, that spring 2000 Josh moved to Texas and lived with Matt & I. I made him join Jenny Craig (we coded it "JC" he lost 80 pounds.

Went to school at CCCC and fell in love/hate with Max Woods--my color seer guide, I'm still processing that chic...

May 2001 Noah was born--(We had planned on going snowboarding in CO and going to do the Euro Rails that spring. Both trips were cancelled. I bawled when I saw the pregnancy test was positive. I walked around the block--we bonded...and then I was fine.) I did a nude of myself pregnant. With my "body image issues", bringing it into class was HUge for me (yes, in several ways) , but it was a major self acceptance experience....one of the first times I felt truly beautiful. My sweet baby boy--one of two greatest gifts--had reflux and used to vomit all over me after I'd spend an hour nursing him. He still has tummy issues and is below the 5th percentile. Brynne is at the 95th. I think my little angel will have her mom's big feet.

Decided I want to be an art therapist and have a place called "the upper room".

Summer 2001 I went to an art show in Denver (at three months old we brought Noah to Colorado to visit friends) he went biking with us in the Baby Bjorn--just stupid! And hiking. I saw an artist there doing Image Transfers--a process I had fallen in love with while living in Lake City--I learned how to do it and started my card line.

(it gets foggy here) I think Fall of 2002 I just couldn't stand TX any more. We toyed with moving to CO, back to MN to open my "upper room, coffee shop, art gallery--we were going to call it Jerichos" that I just finished the 35 page business plan for. We moved to NH instead.

Feb. 2002 Matt bought the house. I started painting a lot, art showing, and expanding my gift line.

spring 2002, Matt lost his job. It was scary, but I was so excited about Matt finding and following a passion. He bought, restored, and sold cars.

April 2003 Brynne was born. Still painting, art showing, mommying--hunting for old cars...

Fall 2005 Matt and I separated, I became a less than par graphic designer ( I don't know the programs like I should--and I hate being labeled as something specific, but if I must, then I am an artist with training in graphic design and fine art; I am on my way (eventually, no hurry) to being an art therapist--(great mix of art, psychology, and healing) I want to go to Leslie U in Mass.

Dec. 2005 I opened the shop--not planned per se, but needed a way to potentially support myself.

April 2006 I was divorced with hope that if something were to die entirely than perhaps it could grow anew--this time real, healthy, right--

Present Day: I like chocolate.

Haven't read your postings yet - wow! This morning as I drove towards the booming metropolis of Granby the sunrise was charging, charging lack a hungry soldier to the battle lines. There was this thick mist slamming into the divide but then came the old sunrise and began to blast it away. Interesting contrast: The mist was holding tight to the lower parts of the mountains which in some wierd way kept any light from reaching the upper peaks, so they were black and then the sunrise created this incredible silouette - it was wild!! Funny thing (and I knew my sunrise and I were being watched) I looked to my left and there was your chic moon (pretty much full) stairing at the whole display. She was totally jealous and when she realized I caught her she tried to flare up with some sort of nice comparison but let's be honest the only reason she has any glow at all is because of the sunrise - Tragic but true. Best of both worlds I guess - thought you might like the comentary.
I will read now.

Oh sorry - Stained Concret floors. We pour them with normal aggregate concrete, a company called Colorado Hardscapes (I think they have a pretty good website) comes in grinds down the top tiny layer and then sprays a stain and reactor type chemical to get the colors. They grind control type joints to make the pattern and then finish with a few coats of wax. They sell the same crap at Lowes you just don't get the cool look from the grind down step. I will post some better shots the pics I took were before we had them come back and re-grind and finish to get some of blochyness out. Stained Concrete Finish is the name.

Quit your crying...

alcor said...

Wow!!! That sounds incredible....

Yes, you are right, the moon would have nothing without that pesky sunrise;

but isn't light always more beautiful with a little reflection...? (of course it is) Reflection lends objectivity and perspective that light alone can't quite get to.

So, how did the judicial building hand-over go?

Anonymous said...

Not sure which portion of that I should take greater offense to?

I totally didn’t follow your veer section as of most recent and what the crap are “veer steps” regarding the wood –

I normally know what you are going to post before you do it but you lost me with the alien testicles (you have always been easy to read- see wait wait, there it is - thoughts of cockiness, truth, and to complete, slight smirk with almost non-existent head shake and sniff).

It was called “The Jericho Company” not Jerrycurl or JeremyCO and certainly not Jericho Construction Company. I am lost
We “turned over” the building this morning, it went great and now we get to head back over for the Big Grand County Judicial Center Grand Opening – if I hear of one more building or business incorporating the word “grand“ into the name I am going to barf in a grandish fashion..

So the whole egocentric thing – no need to hate just because your little moon got put in her place this morning. Did your non green alien testicles from Tanzania show up? Was that a reference to the TV show Jericho?

I think I may have to steal your whole ELEMENTAL word thing to incorporate into the naming of the table company – I like that “Elemental Tabula” or “Tabula Elemental”...

My driver finished fifth in the Michigan race yesterdy - in case you were wondering - he's now tenth in points - should make the chase!! (see there it is again "why would I care about your stupid nascar driver, kinda funny that he would throw that in, maybe I will check out who finished fifth just to have a tidbit of who his driver might be so I can ridicule him about it later) - so predictable..

I am glad you liked it - I knew you could handle it, just had to throw in a little hype for fun - try it with the pipe some cold rainy evening, you won't regret it..

I widdled a pipe once during a very depressing time of transition (I cut myself eleven times, for real, I have the scars to prove it) - I still have it and it is the only pipe I will smoke. The whole smell evoking the memory thing.

alcor said...

I will try it with a pipe...(I need to find a pipe)

ya know, this morning--strange thought I know-- I was thinking about what I would have gotten you for a wedding gift if we had been friends (I mean, better about calling)...I'll have to see if I can find the guy online...hearing about the whittled pipe, I'm sure I would have been dead on.

So what was the depressing time of transition?

alcor said...

Did you cut yourself accidentally while whittling or intentionally to remember you were still alive?

alcor said...

BTW, it's not really a sniff, it's more of abrupt yet slight exhaling through the nose....get it right.

Anonymous said...

Well I was close - I remembered it was something with the nose.

No I am not a cutter!!! My roommate had this widdling kit made by exacto and it was really sharp and I was really bad at widdling. The smoke through the dried blood is what makes it work.

Depressing time of transition explanation, I will have to pen that at a different time and get back with you shortly.

I was out on the rec center site this morning (we broke ground yesterday - kiss that "people of Fraser who are against the rec center") Fletch is my superintendent/mentor/guy with a million years of experience and recognizes that I am as green as an alien testicle/but is still patient and actually finds joy in humoring and teaching me guy.

He is five five and a buck twenty soaking wet - we make a good pair.

First week with BVC I was working with him on the Granby Town Hall and I had never really unrolled a set of drawings. So I asked Fletch if there were any good basic books that I should be studying up on just to get my feet wet on this whole new level/world of commercial construction - his reply straight faced "sure bud, why don't you run over to the library and rent a Bob the Builder video, that should help" and then he walked away..

He has actually become a very good friend as we have now completed three projects together and are starting the rec center - you tend to bond when you build straight through the winter in the colorado rockies - maybe something about the placement of hands in order to stay warm.

The coolest thing about Fletch - he spent three of his four years of high school in a funky head and back harness and needless to say was constantly harrassed - This guy (fletch) (without screaming or using profanity) can walk up to a six six three hundred pound angry steel worker and have the guy crying for his mommy and begging for forgiveness in seconds, with just a few words - he rocks!!

Back to the morning site visit - I was snapping shots of the site and dirtwork and there over my shoulder again, and it was like eight oclock already, was your pesky little moon checking in on me. The moon is cool for midnight but come morning, sunrise time, she needs to get lost. See what you can do about that, Ok!! Ok..

I would like to take this moment ( I use to be a youth pastor – I know how to have fun with kids – I can be trusted) to highly encourage you to play a game with your two darlings, called “watch mommy go diving for the lost blueberry diamond” (I am just trying to help you win some cool points – you probably need to lighten up a bit anyway)

This is how you play: Pile a big old pile of whipped cream on your bowl, plate whatever and scatter some berries all around. Take one beautiful berry and bury it in the middle of the cream pile.

Start eating the surrounding berries “look kids these are normal berries, not the precious lost blueberry diamond” then you announce in a startling fashion “look there it is” and then slam your face into the pile of cream – make sure you come up with the lost berry, it could be quite disappointing if you don’t. Great Game!!

One times when Erin and I were on Sanibel Island (west coast of Florida) We ate at this restaurant, they had the best key lime pie (I am not a huge fan normally but this was great and it sounded right) with the pie I had a shot of espresso, along with dinner I had a Stewarts Key Lime Soda (sorry no mojito - I don't even know how to spell it - give me a guiness I am good) The combination of the key lime pie, soda and espresso was awesome. For the next few months I experimented with trying to make a carbonated coffee / espresso drink - I guess I am telling you this because you "got" my peaberry and pipe combo (thanks) and if you ever try a Stewarts Key Lime Soda with a shot of espresso you will probably barf - but I liked it and thanks for getting it.

I was depressed (probably not the greatest reason to be depressed) beacause I had been out of school for a year, my friend Dan and I decided to put Beautiful Construction to rest and I was looking for a job but didn't really want to drive a school bus (actually that would have been really fun) and I didn't really know what the crap I wanted or should be doing - I was totally dried up with music and sick of the feigned Christian Subculture bubble that existed in Nashville - I felt trapped but by something that I couldn't see or touch and instead of running I widdled in my underwear (not bikini mind you) for a few weeks - complete with taped fingers (now if that isn't a picture I don't know what is) Two weeks later I got a job as a Foreman for a construction project at a Nazarene University (the depression was short lived - but it did hurl me towards my next adventure after the construction project ended).

Sorry 'bout the coffee...I feel your pain. I was out of beans at home too and had to swing by DD at 4:39. Yuk.

How did the ground breaking go? Are ya covered in dirt? You should be. I never understood why people dress up for those things....

Anonymous said...

The ground breaking was just nice – complete with spray painted gold shovels and hardhats on little children – could it get any better. We (builders, owner’s board, architects) had to wear bullet proof jackets as they were afraid we might get shot at – not really but that was the joke – hee hee. Apparently there were some old farts protesting in red tee-shirts – we didn’t see them as they wouldn’t allow them on private property. We did start digging the other day – this was just for ceremonial show and to make it official. Fourteen month build off to the races – it is actually a really awesome project and it will be great for the community once finished.
The controversy stems mainly from the consistent arrogance and no care attitude from the developer. Texan (go figure) – that made it big up in Aspen and is now trying some of the same tricks in the valley. He actually isn’t that terrible of a dude (we work hand in hand with him as he donated the land to the valley) he just needs to be a little less of a prick. As much as I am against taking a beautiful meadow or valley and developing it – the guy has truly pushed for sense of beauty and accountability within new construction, something that we are desperately needing throughout the valley.
We had a nice four hour meeting with the owner’s rep (really cool guys) and the architect (he is from Iceland and also really cool guy) Rob made a reference to safety in the meeting – something along the lines of making sure that whenever the owners visit the site they need hard hats, long pants and absolutely no thongs (rancher boy that didn’t really know that thongs twenty years ago are not the same as thongs present day) he totally didn’t catch it but however I did and so did the owner’s rep – I felt like a ten year old who let a fart in church – I almost lost it!! Madeline was not a thong gal – FYI..
Working on the timeline!

alcor said...

I am tired.

I am glad you weren't shot. It sounds like the Texan needs some lessons in PR. That's the problem with Texans--entitlement coupled with an utter lack of humility. Even if their actions are good, if the heart condition is riddled with "you should worship me, I frickin' rock" of course people are going to revolt!

It does sound like a great project and it's nice that you are close enough to it to see-and be a part--of the good. I'm sure trying out the climbing wall will be painful considering the100 pounds you gained and all--14 months should give you time to lose it!

BTW, not only is Fletch the coolest name ever, but the whole BtB thing made me laugh...

Is Mexican Coffee an alcoholic beverage? What is it? To bed for real. I'm off to the local farms in the a.m. to pick the rest of the wedding flowers...

Anonymous said...

Mexican coffee my naively innocent friend consists of 1 part (three ounces is a part FYI) tequila, 1 part rum, 1 part Kaluia (or whatever that stuff is called) and a third of a part of coffee - they light it on fire for a second or two to warm it a bit (while it was burning my little mexican amigo stated while chuckling "we burn the alcohol all out - chuckle chuckle" I had two or three swigs and remember feeling very warm and relaxed and tired. Mexican coffee - should of just had the Peaberry.

So when you say that you have weddings what does that completely require of you, your company? Do you order the flowers, deliver, arrange, pin them on, shoot them out of a canon or are you present completely running the show during the ceremony - I am like six weddings in a few days holy crap, seems like a pretty huge task. Actually I am more like one wedding in a year holy crap!! Just curious.

In Madeline's defense - that was like six years ago, she may have moved up in the world since then.

I think I need a Mexican Coffee right now!

I just finished doing the ordering--for the most part--for my 5 weddings next weekend. We have one this Saturday, one on next Friday, two on Saturday, and two on Sunday. I booked them before I was better at pretending to be organized. I just kept saying, "sure!". Now I look at my calendar and say "no"--well, most of the time. I'm not supposed to be taking anymore for this year, but I booked one yesterday for this October; but she JUST met her soulmate at 43 (on Match.com) and I couldn't help it. When she asked for the appointment I thought it was for next year and didn't realize it was THIS October until I had already heard her story.

I have to go through each design piece and break it down into flower/cost elements and decide how many of what to order based on how much they are paying, what they want, and what looks good. AHHH!

No worries, I won't cast judgement over MP's undergarment preferences AND I will keep the highly sensitive matter to myself.

I cut into them Tuesday night to take a look at the depth of the weathering along with trying to get a rough handle on the age. The rings on newer growth are much wider spaced, old growth for whatever the reason (air quality, ozone etc) has tighter rings which makes for a stronger wood. The wood is beautiful and most of it will be usable as the weathering/rot doesn't go real deep. I am hauling them in tonight - log chain - land cruiser and scout - I will probably even attempt to drag Erin away from the Olympics to get her hands dirty for a while...

You know, I remember some of your stories from Merlin’s family restaurant which is interesting because for the most part my memory is very vague and blank from the time period of when I got back from Europe and stayed at the cornfield until when Abe and I took you out to Colorado. It is seriously like this cloud is in my memory for that summer – did we even talk?? When was the camping trip? I remember seeing you after or at the state fair or something – didn’t you drive Abe and me back to Windom in his truck at three in the morning? I probably don’t need to ask those questions but I seriously have next to zero recollection..

Yeah we did...I can't remember what about...were we in the back of a truck? The only reason why I remember the camping trip (FYI, that was fun, pre-wierd faze, so I really don't know when we would have gone--I have to check the date. We went with your family. I wrote about trying to sleep in and you "ugly mug" waking me up at the butt crack of dawn--among other things) was because I wrote about it in my journal. That summer was totally a blur for me too. Crazy Hazy pre-flight blur.

alcor said...

When you got back from Europe--things were good. We were happy to see each blah blah blah. It was after the Quartet tour that we became mortal enemies. That was when a weird convo took place at the cornfield. I remember trying to leave in the middle of the night at your parents house too. Holy Drama! Your dad asked me not too. I listened--begrudgingly. It was good though....I wouldn't have been able to get flowers for your mom (she was so great!) or write the letter.

I was so completely consumed with myself and that is sickening because I really don’t treat people that way – those are the things that I feel to this day that I need to apologize for, a portion of the Guilt… What an ASS, did you ever just say "dude you are being such an ass"??

I wrote a letter the day I left your house (the same day your mom got the flowers) and left it on your bed I think. You don't remember? You told Abe, "if we had been dating it would have been a breakup letter" (I read that in my journal too--see, I can cheat)

alcor said...

And the answer is YES. I did say , "dude you're being an ass" in the letter (in so many words). I said I was watching you treat everyone like crap and I wasn't going to hang around and let you treat me like crap--other stuff too about the friendship being what was important I think--not sure what else. Can't remember.

alcor said...

(this was either that day or the day before? can't remember) Your mom said something to the effect of believing that we had something special . She said she knew you'd move through this and come back around (she said your dad had done something similar?)

But I was hurt, mad at myself and the "if you have to think about whether or not you want to spend time with me than let me make the decision for you" thing sort of took over.

You were being an ass. To poor Aaron too--and then you went and broke his heart. Damn you! : )

alcor said...

I did write the msg in the book too--that was different though. That was thinking "maybe 20 years from now he'll find this". Now I went and told you about it and ruined the whole thing. Of course I don't know what book it was, so maybe in another 10 years you will find it. I think I addressed it to JERK or BRILLO or something just so you would know who it was from.

alcor said...

BUT, like i said in my long post (the one you said you'd read 5-10) I did know you were preparing to take flight.--just read it again. Make it 11.

alcor said...

Ok, seriously sorry for the bombard-ment....

We really didn't talk that summer--you had the quartet thing. The driveway convo, the statefair, the letter on your pillow and the flowers to your mom were all after that.

The camping trip was before--like i said, that was fun. Thanks to the trusty journal--you got back from Europe in May--we went camping in June. I guess we went to a graduation, a graduation party, you brought me to see a red VW bug, and then camping with your family... I have no idea where we went.

Thanks for diving into the journals – sorry to say I don’t have mine (I usually couldn’t read my own stinking handwriting anyway) I kept forever that flip book with the card stock, sketches, clippings, awesome quotes and verses you made – I loved that little book – it mysteriously disappeared from my little drawer (same one I keep my bikinis in I suppose) a few years back, hmmm.

I will re-read your posts when I can think and digest a bit more clearly - attempt to offer them the savoring justice they deserve (the whole work thing, Iknow you are slammed as well don't mean to make a one sided excuse - I am going to shut up - I am an analyzer as well).

Here is a question to ponder (I like bouncing these off of you because you are a fellow sideways thinker)

Why is it so damn important for those that love you (you being me or a general person that is loved, really anyone) to just know that you are doing OK – sometimes I feel that it is more important for those that love someone to know you are OK verses being OK with and understanding the person working through things (the process), screaming ridiculous obscenities and proclamations and not being OK – where is the trust that all that is so valuable and supposedly imbedded within will once again shine through, the hope and faith that we hang our hats on will come back around with time. I can't figure out, on a deeper/truer level, if this is birthed from fear, insecurity or love or something else. Speak oh wise one speak!!

A little confusing but I think you get my approach. I am sure you have never experienced this (sarcasm - of course) – but curious to hear your thoughts. You have always contained the sideways view - I am not as seasoned a veteran..

It's not really floating away - it's just flooding really bad down in Sanford and Central FL.. Cool thing, all the newer Flowrita houses are built ground level slabs but all the old "cracker" houses were built about eighteen inches off the ground on pier and girder systems to protect form termites and flooding (hey what a concept) So all of the new shitty construction houses are flooding but not my sweet little shotgun bungalow.

We had another little bungalow, south of orlando, that made it through three really bad hurricanes one season, we came home after one - could barely get into the town, houses were crushed and mangled all around us but we didn't lose a shingle - they use to build them tough.

Well not yet because you are at your party but you will when you get the dingy thing - right right

FYI - I veered my timeline as well - it is a bit long and scattered.

alcor said...

Now would a good arrogant Texan ever send over a picture of himself observing - Notice I didn't send the picture of the landing. The observer is my good friend Brad - he is the businessy part owner of Elemental Grand Table Crafters 3000

alcor said...

NIce jump showoff.

E.G.T.C.3000 very interesting...you just made yourself vomit GRANdly...

alcor said...

So who is he really? Is he really building the tables with you?

Anonymous said...

He is my friend brad and if he was the one jumping he would be doing flips, he is an incredible rider.

alcor said...

Just starting reading...no, I don't think you're a liar.

Flirting in Psych? I don't remember that...my first memory is walking in to the chapel when you were singing...

Continuing the read...

Brad is part owner of a company out here called Vision Companies - I built a table last November and he liked it, I asked him if he would like do this on the side with me. He is gifted with numbers and has a strong work ethic along with a humble heart (he and his wife Angie are great friends) - I have been working on the designs and have the experience with the building portion - so we will be working together.

You and Gina were sitting in the back of the class - you had that "shit eating smirk" on your face and made some smug comment. Didn't you and that Matt guy go out? He played basketball.

I truly wasn't trying to be boastfull in my line, I was just really excited with what I did!!!

How was your party - did you cut a rug - you are totally a dancer down deep!! You still hate dancing?

Anonymous said...

Does this make it hard to read?? Just curious!!

Anonymous said...

Interesting that you said you were being "jaded"!!

alcor said...

Dude, you should be boasting! Sounds awesome...

No, Matt (rice?) and I didn't go out.

You asked me who my friend was "really" and then told me you don't think I am a liar in the same sentence - very convincing! Member when Abe use to call you Alyssa Pissa - Member when you tried to push me into the creek but I grabbed the rope and then swung back grabbed you with my legs, dropped you in the creek and swung back to shore. Then you tackled me and crushed my head against a rock - I think you thought you killed me.

I think you did - good memory though.

alcor said...

That is interesting...just read the Jade part--I want to hear it!

It's not that I don't WANT to dance, I'm afRAID.

Really, this interruption thing works great with the ADD as long as I am not trying to make sure 3 people have things to do and answer phones and help customers at the same time...

Isn't Jade the color you get when you mix blue with green (I hope so otherwise that totally doesn't make sense) - that was kinda the artistic twist, plus it's a cool name for a girl, even if she is only a thought.

Anonymous said...

I share your fear - plus six five guys from Windowm, MN dancing that don't really know how to dance kinda look retarded

Isn't sage a great name for a college dudes dog??

I did NOT date Matt Rice. Becky told me he was sort of interested but I was distracted by someone who was not trying to drink away an ex-girlfriend.
