Sometimes a blog with thoughts and opinions by Dan Greene
The house is creeping along. The finishing foundation work is mostly done. I’ll be interested to see what the finished product looks like. Right now I’m not that happy but I’m reserving judgement at this point.
We’ve had to hire a lawyer to help us through this last part of the process.…
Well technically my new house does. The floors are done and the electricity is on and working.
The wood floors look nice. I’m really pleased with how the floors turned out.
The library reorg picked up steam yesterday, some new appointments have been made and searches are starting.…
Well it has taken me almost to the end on January to post anything. Been buried at work, been ill a bit and trying to keep up with my whirlwind of an almost 2 year old daughter. Blogging is but a distant memory.…

Star Wars Trilogy Special Edition VHS Gold Box
Star Wars Trilogy (2004, DVD)
As you can see, I wasn’t content with just selling the LD player and Star Wars LDs.…
