When you have a friend that works for a local construction company, once in a while you get a heads up on fun stuff that is happening on projects around town.

Tonight I slave away at work on a project that should have been done long ago, but remains unfinished. It is unfinished because I can’t seem to find the time to work on it at work. Too many phone calls, too many responsibilities.

One day soon I will hold one of those packages in my hand and discover [...]

Ok, that was juvenile, but here we are. Neophyte blogger, am I and here we are to learn a little. The content will be, of course, my own personal distracted psychosis.
