Okay, so there was no calamity in the basement project. In fact, the whole project is basically done. Paint, door install, trim, we had a baby, yadda, yadda.
After the big basement project (yawn!) I had to clear my rotting skull. So as any self-respecting, Obama-supporting, intellectual would do: Sabbatical!
Many folks don’t realize that we tradespeople take sabbaticals, too, for the purposes of returning to the underworld with an expanded worldview, innovative techniques, and an assortment of pilfered hotel towels (burial shoruds). Like many remodelers specializing in plumbing, I give lectures on the side, mostly on literature. The attached audio clip is a William and Mary lecture bootleg from my “Literature: Myth and Meaning” series, more specifically, “Rafts and the Race Card: The Adentures of Huckleberry Finn as Eternal Ethos.”William and Mary Lecture Notes
Enjoy
