House suddenly infested by trap-avoiding mice.
Found new house in Huffman Historic District; will probably take it. Rent much higher.
Lungs shot to shit. Quitting smoking.

Sunday night
Murray the landlord: “I’ll have a guy come out tomorrow to fix it.”
Monday
Tuesday afternoon
Old guy, about 85 years old stumbles into the house, walks past the front room, looks up at door jamb (??!).
Holly: “No, it’s over there, on the ceiling. In there. In there. No, up! Up! On the ceiling… see it? See [...]

Holly- we went to the ER a couple of weeks back. She’s back on insulin. She’s been really up and down a lot lately. It’s rough for us both, but i can’t imagine having to be her and go through that. She’s getting better, though.
Music- i’ve been making music again. Funny thing is, i started [...]

Ok. We found out that our landlord has definitely sold the place.
And i keep hearing his words from right after he took the buyer on a tour through the house: “I really love your dog… if you ever want to get rid of him, let me know, I’d love to have him!”
i am beyond frustrated.

See, he just showed the place last week. And just today, the [...]

So, to recap…
We’re moving soon. Any help appreciated, especially with cleaning, painting, repairs, and moving!
Here’s a nice little tour! (Expect real photos this weekend!)

Things are looking, as [...]

We’ve rented a new place! It’s a gigantic house, with two floors plus a basement. Nine foot ceilings! It’s in pretty ratty shape, but it’s over 130 years old, so there ya go.
Of course, being a very old house means that there are probably no more than ten power outlets in the entire place. We’ll [...]

The races are over, and it looks like Democrats won all over the place, including quite a few governorships. That’s great, but let’s not get lazy over it. There is a lot of foulness to undo, and that’s going to take a lot of work.
Democrats, don’t break your arms patting yourselves on the back. And [...]

The Northwest Ordinance is a band from Dayton, OH. The Northwest Ordinance is also, in a roundabout sort of way, how I came to live in the slavery-prohibited state of Ohio.
I work with Chris Karnes, their lead singer and one-half of their guitar regiment. A splendidly nicer and more down-to-earth fellow you could not ever [...]
