When I first started this blog, the plan was to update it every week, on either Saturday or Sunday.  I maintained this grueling schedule for an entire two weeks.  I then decided to update once a month, which means I would devote one full hour a month to writing.  Of course, this proved to be far to much.  I mean, who has that kind of time?  Not I.  So that leaves me without having written jack for the site since July 25th, a whopping 40 days ago.  I apologize to everyone who reads this site - all three of you.

 

Enough of that - on with the story.  While my condo was in the process of being renovated, work was underway in the common hallways as well.  When I originally bought my condo, the hallways were decorated with trendy industrial drop ceilings, dull, generic paint, and a sweet maroon carpet, nicely stained.  All these aspects brought together a feeling not unlike walking into a frat house.  Which would be fine, except that you have to actually walk through these stylistic black holes to get into the condo.
