This missive is woefully past due which I have known for three weeks, four days and nine and half hours. The trouble is I am somewhere between sardonic and sassy these days – my default whenever life throws an overextended series of soft curveballs. Nothing major. Just the stuckness that comes with a to-do list … Continued
Writer Jon Gorey interviewed us for a piece about old construction versus new. “They Just Don’t Build ‘Em Like They Used To—But Should They”.
