The House. The House. The House. THE HOUSE.  Sorry I haven\u2019t blogged in so long but I\u2019m a little preoccupied these days and all my creative energy has been sucked up by THE HOUSE! <\/p>\n

Anyone who owns a house knows that the responsibility can be overwhelming.  Suddenly you are responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of a whole entire building.  Put that building in another state, 240 miles away, add some peeling stucco, a faulty staircase and a multitude of other annoying problems and you get some major stress.  <\/p>\n

In the past 6 months I\u2019ve experienced a level of anxiety I haven\u2019t seen since 1995 when I worked at a law firm that represented clients being sued by dying AIDS patients.  <\/p>\n

It was called FEATHERLY and it ended up being a great move.  The new stucco on the house, with dark trim around the doors and window, is beautiful.  <\/p>\n
