Life in the eye of the tornado

Well, it's certainly been an interesting few weeks. 

We had a great Halloween - lots of fun with the neighborhood kids and their families.  It's always refreshing to remember that we live among such nice, friendly people.

At just a couple days past one month of being officially open, Brian and Liz's shop is going gangbusters.  It's the buzz of the town and everyone (with a notable exception) has been so positive and supportive.

And even 'she' - the exception and vicious crazy person - is nothing more than an annoyance at this point.  So - we discount her pointless and increasingly pathetic existence and move on.

Tougher has been the adjustment to our home life.  Life is good, business is great and we're both happy and extraordinarily busy - but damn - someone needs to clean and do the laundry.

So - even as I type this - the first housekeeper we've hired since leaving California in 2000 is downstairs cleaning away.  Thank God.  I was afraid to drop anything for fear of it disappearing under a passing tumbleweed of dog fur.


But life is good - just a little bit fraught as we re-adjust to our new circumstances.

Hope all's well in your worlds - be good to each other and keep in touch!
