Travis Smith: my resume, bio and photos back to the main blog page

The move is complete.  Susie and I are in our ninth home in 11 years.  Patrician Way in 1995. Mockingbird Lane. Waldo Ave.  Rue du Faubourg St Martin. Kossuth Lajos Utca.  Grand Ave.  Paloma St.  Hastings St. And now West 13th Ave.

It’s a house made of brick.  We’re renting.  It’s much bigger than the old place, and yet our stuff still doesn’t fit.  My sister was here helping us unpack and says that I have too many T-shirts, and that it’s silly to own glass sundae cups.  I think it’s silly not to.

Here’s the plaque on the front of the house.  It says the house is dedicated to the professor of bricklaying from BCIT.

Can you figure out why?

Overheard

“We knew, finally, the the girls were really women in disguise, that they understood love and even death, and that our job was merely to create the noise that seemed to fascinate them.”

...who said it?

“If you don’t like what’s being said, change the conversation.”

...who said it?

“Turning the other cheek turns out to have selfish advantages. Someone who does you an injury hurts you twice: first by the injury itself, and second by taking up your time afterward thinking about it. If you learn to ignore injuries you can at least avoid the second half.”

...who said it?

“so you found a girl who thinks really deep thoughts / what’s so amazing about really deep thoughts”

...who said it?

“There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are.”

...who said it?

I see that you're here--nice.

It's quite unusual to have a brick house on the west coast.
