Back to the Salt Mines

My first two weeks back to work were spent more away than at home with travel to Richmond and back, then to Madison (NJ), then Richmond again, and then home on Valentine's Day night.

Some of the air travel luck from Houston must have been still on my skin as not only was my connecting flight from Charlotte to Richmond cancelled, but so was the next one. I ended up flying to Newport News and driving the rest of the way. Last week I enjoyed an 8-hour long 3-hour flight to Newark. The delay was on both ends and due to snowy weather but, in case you haven't heard, Newark sucks with or without snow. Dante Alighieri probably had something like the Newark airport in mind when he was describing the eighth circle of hell.

The good news is the house is much more on schedule than I am with most of my projects at work. All the drywall is up and the exterior is nearly done. I took these photos at dawn after a Cracker Barrel breakfast one morning about two weeks ago. Gotta love breakfast at the Cracker Barrel.


I went by again late one night last week and they had put in the door frames and sprayed a first coat of paint.
