Ah
The second floor with its built-ins.
Turning into extended studio space. Demanding buyers are asking for more work.
Don't need to work or rent but making the stuff is so much fun.

Marti's Memorial Garden
The Neighborhood Board, a group of people half my age, inherited The Marti Frumhoff Memorial Garden.
They appear unable to organize and care for it.
The last time I met with Jeff about the garden he complained, I could doing something else with my time!
I actually had to explain to him that volunteering is its own reward.

Over the years I also tolerated other dumfuckery such as, Was Marti your girlfriend?
No, she wasn't. She was however, a relentless volunteer.
This is how great it was looking in 2019.
Tell me a story about Mike Rancid
Asked Pist.
Me: What a dumbfuck. He once returned a bowl by placing it on the door threshold. When I opened the door it fell off the threshold and broke.
Pist: Whoa...How long do you give the marriage?
Me: Hahahahaha.
Me: Did I tell you he glued a framed photo to the PLASTER wall in the apartment
Pist: Ah...I'm giving the marriage less than 5.
Me: I raised the rent twice in one month to get him out.

Waterstruck brick
100 year old mortar mix stained pink to resonate with the rose color ricks. It was applied by a talented craftsman who followed the rough edge of a waterstruck brick. Experiencing this in person can alter my mood into one of awe for the world.
