Visitors!

I just bade farewell to Sean and Amila, who not only visited, but did so unexpectedly, which is the best.  I'm happy to report that they seem great, and are making the most of their journey to LA.  The other LA.  L. A. ?

More things to read.

Our gal Patrice is also contributing to the Trust's Preservation Nation blog... liked at right too.

and Gabs - I need that good thesis juju. Keep sending it! Tell us more about what life at the landmarks commission is like... I'm curious.

Greetings

Hi everyone. I was really glad to see some recent posts, and sad to hear I missed all the festivities in Philly.
I am living in New York working for the LPC. Work has picked up recently and I am working on a few projects in the most recently designationed historic district, DUMBO in Brooklyn. I talk to Maria frequently and saw her last month in DC. She is doing well working at EHT Traceries. Alexis Casale and I have been bouncing around emails...and Alexis Stephens is MIA - but homefully we will all get together in NY soon. People, if you are visiting the city let me know. would love to see you. I hope every one is having a healthy and happy 2008 thus far. Haha, I am sending you good thesis fibes.
luv, gg

Hey Reagan...

try this? I couldn't find my stuff.

Plotting still sucks

Nope, we haven't gotten anywhere with the plotting. Oh well. It's just annoying. I'm happy to see some posts! I am jealous of those who got together and played before Amila and Sean left. Boston is still cold. I miss Philly, too. I don't have much news to report, although I did get an email through my office saying that Bhawna is joining the New York BCA office, which is where Alexis Stephens is still working? I don't know; she hasn't answered my email.
Oh! News: I may be working at a site in Greece this summer where I worked in 2004 to help them prepare a conservation plan! It seems as though Gordion may come in handy after all. I'm very excited!
AND, did everyone see the most recent Preservation magazine? Our own Patrice Frey is famous! She's in one of the articles and I didn't know she has this big fancy position and title down at the Trust?! Congrats!
That's it for here. You can still keep track of our home improvement progress on our blog. Damn, it's slow going.

Alright, I want to see more updates, too, so it's only fair that I add one...  Still in NOLA, still not sure how long this job will last, and less and less inclined to leave.  I have, however, been continually sick this winter.  Whether this has more to do with weather or lifestyle, I don't know.  And I don't look forward to summer weather.   The dogs are good, but Tucker has a big hole in him, which has been stressful.  For me, at least.  He doesn't seem to care.  He'll be fine.

Any of y'all are welcome any time.  I have a lot of room.  And I've been worming my way into the music scene.  There is some incredible stuff here that, apparently, no one knows about.

Check my blog, which has turned into something I didn't intend, the way that blogs do.

Happy Valentine's Day/ Just Because

Hi! I really have nothing new to say, but I figured our posts were getting so lonely that I would do my part to keep the blog going. Reagan, I hope you figured out plotting stuff. I'm afraid I don't have my notes, and it's been almost a month since you requested help! Haha- I hope you're kicking thesis ass, and not the other way around! As for me, I'm still in the DC area, and still missing good ol' Philly. For those of you that have more interesting lives, please let us know how you're doing! Miss you all!

Spoiled!

I used to call February "the dark times" marked by gray skies and foul moods. Well, this year I have beens spoiled rotten by some of my favorite faces! Ionnes and I ate at Dimitri's with Miss Buckley and MandyMoo one Saturday night. And this past weekend Mander organized a Moroccan feast at Marrakesh to celebrate Sarah V's presence in town. Teresa, Mander, her man, Fon, Ellen and I not only got to feast with our fingers but also got to watch Sarah V get a bellydancing lesson. (Methinks she could've taught her host some tricks of the trade, but was too polite to show off all of her moves.) I think Fon has pictures. Amila and Sean's going-away party was the following night, complete with lots of good people, a fireplace, and free furniture. We're all sad to see them go but know that big things are ahead!! It's very exciting. Oh yeah and I'm in a class Patrice is helping to teach.... and I thought I was gonna be so lonely this year. Miss the rest of youse - come visit!! (Because I'm greedy like that.)
