Gift has returned home

We are proud to announce the return of a family member to our household. Due to the repeated generosity of Joan, my Mom, and the talented hands of native American artist Steven Gootgeld, our spirit lover wedding statue has once again taken its place in our home. This new statue is a faithful replication of the original wedding gift, but with an added base for stability. To honor the spirit of our wedding, pieces from the shattered original reside inside this statue. Many sincere thanks to Steven for such a thoughtful idea.

We purchased a small rug during our visit to the Museum of the American Indian in Washington D.C. that makes a perfect display accent. If you have a chance to visit the new Smithsonian, your reward will be an experience that in my humble opinion makes it one of the finest museums in the world. It is a breathtaking, engaging, challenging, and glorious tribute to native peoples from Canada to Chile. If you go – tell us – and we’ll meet you there to see it again. Seriously.

Here comes the car chase...

My everlasting quest to be gainfully employed has yet another possibility and it’s a possible shocker. For all of those readers out there (this means you, Sam. Yup. Just you so far…) you may know of my penchant for all things Rocky Mountain. Shall I describe the ideal job location? You guessed it: Denver, Colorado. Actually, further up the hill would be great, but not anywhere near the defunct nuclear processing plant. I’d need a plutonium-grade Britta filter if that happened.

Back to subject. So might you imagine something completely different, even polar to an environment like Denver? How about Miami? MY MAMMY! Yup, the stuff of 80’s TV and U2 songs. It appears that there might be a chance that BOTH the Salada brothers will live near a town called ‘Hollywood.’ Par for course, said Hollywoods are on the opposite sides of the country. How’s that for twin-weirdness? Not really? Ah, well, it was worth a mention. Once again, fans (Sam), stay tuned for more updates... as they trickle in like molasses.
