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!
