3 Compartments

Kirst and I ventured downtown this morning and walked for about 45 minutes all around. I showed her the highlights of my wonderful city 🙂

BLOG-0196

BLOG-0197

The freedom of speech chalkboard wall had some interesting designs on it today

BLOG-0198BLOG-0199BLOG-0200

I set Kirst up with a sandwich at Cville Coffee and said goodbye because Matt and I had a meeting at our bakery location with some contractors to discuss such things as walls and three compartment sinks

BLOG-0204

Here’s how the space looks today [it was previously a t-shirt print shop!]

BLOG-0207

Demo should begin next week and our build-out should start in the few weeks after that!

BLOG-0205

Our meeting when until 2:15 and we headed home for lunch.

BLOG-0223

Leftover soup served over spinach with plain yogurt

BLOG-0211

BLOG-0225

Plus some crab chips

BLOG-0217

And a mealy apple. This lunch didn’t taste all that great.

    I can’t wait to see more pictures of the bakery — did the t shirt shop close or just move? I was thinking it would be kind of neat to keep some of that paint splatter type design in your new space. That was just me talking out loud — I’m sure you have plenty of ideas for your GH.

    I hate when I get a disappointing piece of fruit. It sounds so silly but bad meals affect my mood for a while!

    I was looking through my Netflix suggestions and just saw The Parking Lot Movie, which takes place in Charlottesville, VA. It made me think of you guys and perhaps you’d be interested in seeing it. It received 3.4 stars and the description reads:

    “The Parking Lot Movie is a documentary about a singular parking lot in Charlottesville, Virginia. The film follows a select group of parking lot attendants and their strange rite of passage. The eccentric brotherhood of attendants consist of grad students, overeducated philosophers, surly artists, middle-age slackers and more. This self-described “ragtag group of fractured poets” prefer skateboards and bicycles to cars and have at best a tolerant contempt for the people they serve. That’s not to say they don’t care about anything. They hang out at the lot even in their spare time, shooting the breeze or playing a spirited game of “flip cone,” just because…they like it there. They conduct their own private “war” against the elites, the pretentious and obnoxious customers who park their BMWs, Hummers, Suburbans and other vehicles. They study the art of doing nothing and the knack of getting even with rude, SUV-driving dolts who treat them like inferior beings. The gradual devolution from enthusiasm to resentment in the psyches of guys self-aware enough to notice it is an interesting process; in an attempt to distract themselves from the rapidly mounting bitterness, the attendants amuse themselves any way they can-stenciling random messages on the parking gate, writing songs, even dancing for tips. Through interviews with former attendants who have moved on – we see that their time at the lot has clearly provided rites of passage and afforded them Zen-like perspective. As one parking attendant laments, “We had it all in a world that had nothing to offer us.” If the intersection between the status quo and the quest for freedom is their ultimate challenge, could a slab of asphalt be an emotional way station for The American Dream?

      When I have had something really important I was preparing for, I have actually purchased more apples than I needed just in case this happened. One time I had 20 apples and three were mealy–sometimes you just never know; luckily, I had enough for what I needed to do.
