Still round the corner there may wait |

Home is behind, the world ahead, |

Feel free.
I pirated them fair and square myself.
I also grabbed some others and have them at that webpage.
Like this one:

I always look at faces first, especially the eyes. Andy has that look of "I've got beter things to do than roam up and down this hallway, so I'm going to get this done as fast as I can."
2J, I reread those firsts posts. Only two months ago, and look how far he's come. Sorry to hear about his Gunny, but at least he went the way any Gunnery Sergeant would want to go.
Also in rereading those firsts posts, I didn't notice that Andy's father is a veteran. He's earned one of our new HH pocket knives. I have their home address, I just don't have his first name. Could you supply that?
He got a great idea from "Fine Homebuilding" magazine last month. A guy in Southborough, MA had built a geodesic dome structure over the area where he was adding a family room to a house. Got SSQ thinking that it would be great to have the work area completely covered. He could come home and work in the evenings, even for an hour or so without having to set up and take down the tools everytime; he could just leave them out. That would save him so much time. It would also make the job go faster because we wouldn't have to be delayed because of weather.
braking = breaking!
Hah, a home improvement blog would fit right in here...
My "home improvement" consisted of translating my worldly goods along all 3 spatial axes...
Let me see... wouldn't that rotate them out of our plane of existence? I seem to recall that's what happened to the planet of the Bug-Eyed Monsters in "Have Spacesuit Will Travel".
Watch out for the Sackville-Clintonses...
Heh...though in reality, except for a very few things, I WANT people to cart everything away.
MUST we relive the wardrobe malfunction?
Let's say east-west is x, north-south is y, and altitude is z...
So my stuff moved x-2 miles, y-12 miles, and z+12 feet (all figures approximate), while remaining stationary relative to the percieved "present" on the t axis...
I'll have to reread HSWT again now...
You know, one way to do it, after you've sold everything you want to sell, is just open up the place for a 'cart it away for free' day. Just make sure you've moved everything out that you want to keep, put a sign up that says "Moving, take what you want", then when it's done, load up for one last trip to the dump. Then all you'll have to do is clean and lock the doors!
That sounds like a good idea, as does Hair's indoor garage sale.
The furniture is going to be toughest. I'd LIKE to get a little for it...but if I have to, I'll give stuff away in the end. I don't have much time!
Having to reread a classic work like that is no hardship!
I think we need to talk soon!
Margaret is all gung-ho about the idea of driving there and then to the wedding. Eek! That's awfully soon!
It is, however, in the room.
he looked at me without letting go of Peewee and her great soft eyes were sternly sad. ("It means that their planet is tilted ninety degrees out of the space-time of your senses and mine.")
Her voice sounded like a funeral dirge played softly on a flute. Yet the verdict did not seem tragic to me. I knew what she meant; her meaning was even clearer in Vegan than in English. If you rotate a plane figure about an axis in its plane it disappears. It is no longer in a plane and Mr. A. Square of Flatland is permanently out of touch with it...
("You do not understand, dear gentle Kip -- they do not take their star with them.")
Good story :)
Heh, well, if it'll be easier to work things out over the phone I'll call you some evening. Let me know...
