Sometimes I Wonder
Does killing time damage eternity? And just how much time can you kill before the damage is permanent?
Would the universe exist if there was no one here to see it?
People believe that without a God we would have no purpose for being. I wonder if God would have a purpose if there were no beings.
Does God have a sense of humor? If he does, I’ll bet he’s into slapstick, how else could you explain the Three Stooges?
Anyway, finally it looks like something is on the verge of happening with getting the house repaired from the Katrina damage. Count it folks, that’s almost exactly 2 years since the hurricane and the house is still a shambles. Engineering people have come out and given the official okey-dokey and most of the paperwork has been signed off. It’s going to be interesting to see this 2 story brick home being raised 3 feet off the ground.
They claim that we can actually live in the house while it’s being done. Oh yeah, you know that’s going to be fun without any plumbing LOL Since it’s all under the foundation, it has to be disconnected during the raising. Hence, the FEMA trailer out front that has a shower and working fixtures… They claim the whole process will take less than 6 weeks, we shall see! I’ll definitely have photos!
I’ll be leaving in a few days to meet up with the lovely Lisa again for the return journey to NYC, more fun on the highway! I’m looking forward to it! This time I’ll be spending more time in Manhattan which is always fun. I love dining out there, we already have plans to revisit the Argentine restaurant we found. Unfortunately, my waistline is taking a serious beating! Gah!! I’ll definitely be on a serious diet when I get back, LOL.
Hope you guys are having a fun weekend!!

While you’re in New York City may I suggest a trip over to the Ferrara Bakery in Little Italy on Grand Street. They have cannolis to die for that are bigger than your head! Well, almost anyway! Have a great time and a safe trip!
You’ll definitely need to be posting pictures–FEMA in charge of something that touchy, this I gotta see
Boy, that FEMA can really move when Brownie launches the troops: Only two years. Amazing.
Two years have already gone by…that’s so hard to believe. Looking forward to seeing the pic of the house raising.
Good news about the house… sorry about your waistline, maybe Lisa will lend you her tube socks and let you run on her Mom’s treadmill….
Looking forward to more road trip adventures with you, Hon! We’re gonna have some fun!
@ Janet: The treadmill is there if Se7 wants to use it. As for the tube socks, he is on his own
Hell, if Ty Peddington can build a house from scratch in 6 days, you can get a new place in 6 weeks, right? Right.
Of course God has a sense of humor. He let W be President, didn’t he?
God definitely has a sense of humor. They is no other way to explain our creation.
Have great fun in NYC. It’ll take your mind off of the construction silliness.
holy shit, I can’t believe how long it’s taking them to fix everything up down there. I’d be losing my mind! good luck with it, se7en, and enjoy your trip
Wow, first you survive a liver transplant, then Katrina, then a cross-country trip with Ally da Pup and LisaB. and now FEMA’s gonna raise your house???? Man, you need to buy a lottery ticket and hope you make a lot of money to pay for it when they fuck up.
Honestly, I hope all goes well. You know we’re pullin’ for ya.
Two years is a really long time to have to live in a little trailer, for one. But secondly, we can’t, as a Government, take the task to hand quicker. It’s crazy. I’ll look forward to the pics and story on this one. Now, have a good time, maybe you’ll see my lil sis in Manhattan, she works at Ajilon. She’ll be the fiery red head with the girlish voice and a really big whip.
Hola. I was wondering if you were still around. I sent you a message about the Relay Blog, but didn’t hear back from you so I was wondering how things were.
Good luck with that is all I have to say!
Better you than me!
I’m so happy for you guys finally getting your houes fixed!. It sure took long enough, so sad. Have a great time with Lisa this weekend.
I had a blast meeting the two of you this week! Hope your trip back was good.
1. Great thoughts!
2. Congratulations on the house!
3. I love hearing that you and Lisa are “hanging out” again.
4. Come to my blog and see my new grandbaby!

I don’t believe I’ve ever seen you do a meme of any sort but I tagged you with the new Moaning Meme over on my page. It’s actually fun with a bit of a twist so I do hope you’ll play along! If not, I understand completely.
