One Corner in the Ether |
Little Bunny Foo Foo,
Hopping through the forest
Scooping up the field mice
And boppin’ ‘em on the head
Down came the good fairy and she said
“Little Bunny Foo Foo,
I don’t want to see you
Scooping up the field mice
And boppin’ ‘em on the head.
I’ll give you three chances,
And if you don’t behave
I’ll turn you into a goon!”

Sunny days
Sweepin’ the clouds away
On my way to where the air is sweet
Can you tell me how to get
How to get to Sesame Street
Come and play
Everything’s A-okay
Friendly neighbors there
That’s where we meet
Can you tell me how to get
How to get to Sesame Street
How to get to Sesame Street
How to get to Sesame Street
Rubber Duckie, you’re the one
You make bathtime lots of fun
Rubber Duckie, I’m awfully fond of you
(woh woh, bee doh!)
Rubber Duckie, joy of joys
When I squeeze you, you make noise!
Rubber Duckie, you’re my very best friend, it’s true!
(doo doo doo doooo, doo doo)
CHORUS:
Every day when I
Make my way to the tubby
I find a little fella who’s
Cute and yellow and chubby
(rub-a-dub-a-dubby!)

Beware of things made in October.
If you watched the season premiere of South Park yesterday, you’ll expect the boat in the first one to hit a beaver dam. “I broke the dam.” I was hoping the episode would have ended with a slow clap building into a global warming causing crescendo. Glad to have you back South Park.

Kirk Gibson rocks! Astros – WhiteSox sucks.
Nearly everynight it seems the Empire State Building has a different lighting pattern. Colored lighting on the building started in commeration of our bicentenial in 1976.
Empire State Building Lighting Schedule
The Empire State Building was built in 11 months. Tell that to your contractor when he complains.
Write Things Down
When you have meetings with your architect and you decide on something, write down exactly why you came to your decision. Don’t rely on the architect writing it down. Also write down everything he’s promising you for your next meeting so you can check him on it.
Our guest room has a really cool pattern on lights on the dropped ceiling. My original decision was to have a ceiling fan without the dropped ceiling. Wish I’d written that one down. The ceiling fan in our master bedroom has been going for the last year, pretty much nonstop and we love it. Cool light pattern, not so cool, lots of heat, lots of electricity.
Advise on architects: Tom Vail of Vail Architects is bad. He might be good if his job were in sales or something where attention to detail isn’t important. Unfortunately, detail is important in architectural plans. Too many of my second decisions were forced on me because my original decision didn’t fit. Oh it fit on the plans, if only the plans reflected the reality of the space in the apartment. A few inches here and there matter and Tom Vail didn’t pay attention to those details.
