The night in review
Got home early with a seriously painful foot (don't ask).
From 9:00 - 3:30 fireworks.
3:30 - 4:00 restful sleep.
4:00 - 5:30 dumpster emptying.
5:30 - 6:30 dogs, dogs, dogs.
6:30 - 7:30 food shipment arrives.
7:30 the normal day begins.
Happy 5th of July! -

Danny Glover and Julia Stiles shot some of Gospel Hill about a block away this weekend. Apparently they needed a lot of ice, because one of the caterers had a few shopping carts full at the local Bi-Lo Saturday afternoon.

taking the leap

So it goes

I only became good friends with her brother Kevin in her last year or so. He's one of those friends that I never get to spend enough time with (like terracinque and a few ( Read more... ) -

The wedding was a blast. I'll try to give an update tomorrow when I've had some sleep. -

I swore I would never run cable in a business again. And last night I broke my promise. 4 runs of cat-5 in absolutely the most cramped attic I've ever encountered. I literally had to pull myself over rafters and around corners simultaneously on my belly. There simply wasn't enough room to crawl ( Read more... ) -
Challenged
I went with friends to see Elie Wiesel in Charlotte give a talk entitled "Against Indifference." He was very professorial, and quiet spoken, and also very moving. The perfect example of someone who can explain why anger is a good and powerful tool for change, and why hate is not that. As one would expect before he was finished I felt he threw ( Read more... )
