Sorry about that. The idiot must have been out of snuff or whatever he takes for his pleasant disposition.

The Observation Deck

 I just finished rereading some posts from my favorite blog authors; bill, kden, grumpy and hub. I enjoy them very much. I was glad to read that bill attended a speaking gig with his son, and I was enchanted by his post of speaking to medical students with Ann. I can see him sitting there, in front of those 14, wanna be doctors, talking with wise words in a gentle, yet direct fashion. I can see him being honest and descriptive, when sharing the challenges and fears of catching that next breath. Yet, he doesn't allow himself the credit he deserves for painting those pictures with words. He is a better author than he realizes. He does far more than, "ramble."  I reread some of kden's posts, too. As I have the pleasure of knowing her in person, I can see her sparkle shine through her words. I smile all the time as I read her posts. Though, even before I met her in person last summer, her words had that affect on me, and, likely, you too. That i...

Curve Ball-First Pitch

  In looking for a new space to rent and dealing with this curve ball of life, I must say I am learning new things and meeting some interesting people. On a few occasions, I took my resume and letter of references with me. I felt that would solidify the type of person I am, and "ya never know" who you'll connect with.   Jason: he is a man 36 years of age. He has an 8 year old daughter who visits every other weekend, given his recent divorce. He owns his own home and is looking to rent two rooms to two tenants. He needs help with the house payment. It's an older farmhouse, small rooms, basement and he lays claim to the upstairs for his and his daughter's bedrooms and his office. He owns a small construction company while going to school for Holistic Medicine. It wasn't a bad place and he certainly is a nice young guy. Did I mention he is Mormon? He reassured me he doesn't care of others' religious beliefs. However, in conversation I learned there is n...

Curve Ball-Slider

  A brief explanation of my area:Olympia, (population 45,000), Lacey (population 42,000), & Tumwater, (population 17,000) are all part of the blended area. Lacey is where I am nearest; 2 miles away, downtown Olympia is about 8 miles away and Tumwater is 10 miles in distance. The metropolitan area combined is about 104,000 people. At most times, no matter which direction you are diving from or to, you can see Mt. Rainier and the Cascade Mts., in the background. Lots of forests surround us, and the city has done a great job with lining the streets with trees and keeping it clean. You can, often, see the Capitol Dome sitting aside Capitol Lake, right in the middle of it all.  I continued my search of spaces for rent and responded to more ads via email. There was one post that was quite amusing and tested your abilities to follow instructions. After the ad described the rooms for rent, utility information and deposit requirements, it jokingly referenced the man cave in the ga...
