That is really cool that you worked on that house!

i want to live in such a house!! listen to rock'n'roll all day while sitting on a rockin' chair at the front door, and i ll have an old car parked outside!!!! ah dreaming!!!

you have not witnessed or partaken of the awesomeness that is www.icanhascheezburger.com?

you are missing out, my friend.

Fantastic post, thank you for sharing it.

I have long held that working with people teaches you more about them than most of what they say. It informs me regarding what they say to a great extent. Tangible, substantial fruits of one's labor do matter, as well.

The other story... whoo. I feel glad that you have come to a place where you can share it.

wow, that was an amazing post, thanks for sharing. you've had some amazing experiences in your life. and while the path that led you out of teaching sounded a bit traumatic the fact that it let you know so clearly that your passion lay elsewhere is a real blessing. i'm glad that you're finding happiness and fufilment in your life. its wonderful to hear about.
