Why run with the crowd when you can run around in circles?

Be it ever so humble

There's no place like home. Only the old, gray part on the left is mine. The rest is new construction and is only a shell inside that looks like this:

That's how come I can's afford the rent-it's discounted for me having to put up with all that banging and other electrical power tool noises.

Don't tell the landlords, but I find that racket rather comforting-sort of like being back in the boat yard among all the dreams in progress. I don't mind in the least. Everyone goes home around dark anyway, and this place is just so very awesome, a work of art. I love it here, and am even twisted enough to be looking forward to the winter! This weekend's project is to hook up the woodstove and eliminate any squirrels cohabitating in the chimney.

Should I be attacked by pirates during the rowing race at today's Harborfest, preventing wood stove attachment, I can always spend the winter in my new bathroom. The floor is heated, even in the shower!
All this, combined with wireless internet connection, Netflix coming to my door, and the supermarket delivery service, means that I can hibernate in comfort and style! Once it gets cold, I probably won't be out until spring!
