Miscellaneous
Posted by E-George on January 31, 2010
There has been upheaval in the world of George. Suffice to say I’ve taken out and dusted off my well-worn phrase, “It is what it is.” So, to take my mind off it all, I made another Evelyn video.

Boughts of insomnia
Posted by E-George on December 13, 2009
Since moving into the new house I have absolutely had the hardest time sleeping well. I can’t put my finger on why, exactly, but for about 10 days out of each month I’m either waking up every two hours like a newborn, or my eyes fly open at 1:30am and refuse to close again [...]

Remember me?
Posted by E-George on October 3, 2009
The cobwebs of spammers almost blotted this site from existence! At long last we’re moved in, out of boxes, and somewhat settled into the new house. There always seems to be some source of upheaval to keep me from sitting down to write a much-needed update, and today is no different. Check back [...]

Tile straight from the Pizza Hut eatery design archives
Posted by E-George on July 13, 2009
Our house has been for sale since May 12, 2009. Since then, we’ve had more than 30 families come to look at the house, which is incredible. We even had a realtor tour which saw more than 10 realtors peruse the house and write comments. We listed the house at $285,000, arrogantly [...]

Fireworks
Posted by E-George on July 1, 2009
I remember as a child pining and aching to have fireworks each Independence Day. I also remember my mother saying no and following it up with the explanation, “If you want to see money burn, I’ll set a dollar bill on fire right here on the kitchen table.” I also remember than when [...]

It’s been a little quiet
Posted by E-George on June 14, 2009
I realize that there’s been a little radio silence here lately, but in my defense I’ve been working. On being at home. And, being with Evelyn. That’s my excuse, and I’m sticking to it.

I like this one
Posted by E-George on May 15, 2009
It’s the butter bean in the soup of lentils that is the selling process. Which is to say, it’s the ugly obnoxious part of a much better set of surrounding circumstances. The house went on the market on Tuesday, and being that I am of an irrationally egotistical mind I assumed people would be [...]

For sale
Posted by E-George on May 11, 2009
Last week, this weekend, and today have been a series of frenetic hours decluttering, cleaning, tidying, organizing, and otherwise purging our house in preparation to put it on the market to sell. In some ways, it’s been deeply cathartic. In other ways, it’s been deeply disturbing.
It is experiences such as these [...]

Helicopter Mom
Posted by E-George on April 23, 2009
A friend told me about this term today. I sort of want to be one to see if it is as exhausting as it sounds, but I sort of don’t want to be one because that’s a fast road to alienting (or completely crippling) your kid.
