I normally don’t use my “column” as a “blog” but I have a few items that I ought to share.

1) I’m selling our Miata.  It’s a 2000, low mileage, for $11,600.  Great deal. Photos and details at http://www.hopstudios.com/miata/

2) If you’re available on Tuesday morning at 9:30 - 10:30, you can help us move some crap into storage just down the street from my house.  Furniture and boxes of books—we’ve got a truck arranged, but I just thought you might like to come lift things.  Crazy, but I had to ask.

3) Our new address and phone number as of Oct. 1 is set, but I’d prefer not to post it on the Web.  If you receive this by email, the address will appear here:

123 Main Street
Anywhere, Canada

(888) 555-8728

I’d like to list you in my new Vancouver cell phone, so please call it now and let it ring at least twice.  That will save me hours of punching in everyone’s number…  Calls to Canada are very cheap and are dialed just like U.S. long distance. And it’s free if you call from work!

Our apartment will be in a building called the Palladio.

I’ll do a better photo album when we get there.

Andrea Palladio, just in case you were wondering, was an Italian architect whose works include the Villa Rotonda (striking) and the Palazzo Chiericati (bland, in my opinion) in Venice.  He rejected ornate Renaissance styles and instead created a modified version of classical Roman principles that became much imitated.

That’s it for tonight!

Overheard

“The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil.”

...who said it?

“Almost every American I know does trade large portions of his life for entertainment, hour by weeknight hour, binge by Saturday binge, Facebook check by Facebook check. I’m one of them. In the course of writing this I’ve watched all 13 episodes of House of Cards and who knows how many more West Wing episodes, and I’ve spent any number of blurred hours falling down internet rabbit holes. All instead of reading, or writing, or working, or spending real time with people I love.”

...who said it?

“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.”

...who said it?

“I play with variables constantly.”

...who said it?

“Only the person who has learned Continual Love coming from a heart of Gratitude/Worship can effectively deal with the problem of loneliness.”

...who said it?
