Like my brownhouse:
   March 2016

01: deprocrastination - I do some tax grunt work and even apply for jobs after grinding up some extended-release adderall.
02: if we're going to gentrify Kingston - Looking at a big multiunit apartment house in Kingston as a possible investment property.
03: beer and seminudes - Also kratom and scotch.
04: Matt Rogers bubbles back up - Having not heard from him in years, a pseudonymous Facebook account turns out to belong to him.
05: dog birthday party - Ramona and Eleanor attend a party in Kingston celebrating the second birthday of their friend Chongo.
06: couchdown - Taking care of some last minute Matt Rogers vendetta work as I convalesce on a couch.
07: ribbon of snot - Another day spent on sofas, hoping to recover from illness.
08: bad tussin - In an effort to calm my coughing, I drink some tussin with an expiration date nearly eight years in the past.
09: new way of coughing - This strange nature of the mucous being generated forces me to find a new way to expectorate it.
10: decouching - My longest convalescence in the past 25 years is finally over.
11: screams Obama Administration - Wondering about the future of current trends in kitchen remodeling. And a Trump rally gets shut down.
12: adderall didn't facilitate a masterpiece - Photoshopping under the influence of a attention deficit disorder medication.
13: that class of conspiracy - Dinner party with a friend's new boyfriend.
14: house rented II - From three couples, we pick a pair of chemists. Also, Eleanor's test come back positive for lymphoma.
15: Brule painting - Also, an unpleasant speed-fueled job interview.
16: cellphone-based show & tell - How to break the spell of socially-shared cellphones when a normal human conversation would be preferable.
17: the miracle of springtime - Also, another dinner at Plantae in Tivoli.
18: expectations of object permanence - A drone goes missing in a large empty field along the Esopus.
19: expand the area being searched - If the thing you're looking for isn't in the area being searched, expand the area.
20: boulders in the swale - Also, my software development mentorship feels increasingly fraudulent.
21: brain capacity under known observation - I experience a bad job interview because of my inability to perform while engaged in a social interaction.
22: wife stands by color choice - I paint a whole wall a sage green and Gretchen still thinks it is great.
23: mummified Ring-necked Snake - Things revealed while preparing the house for painting.
24: dog-shelter-hopping to Manhattan - En route to a poetry reading, we check out Pit Bull options in Dutchess County and Yonkers.
25: two diners and a movie - Killing time while our house is painted.
26: in various states of social collapse - Looking at rental properties in Kingston, NY.
27: tooth-loosening bite of bread - I paint a whole wall a sage green and Gretchen still thinks it is great.
28: Easter gesso challenge - Problems with composition and gesso color at a live model drawing class.
29: arrival of Neville - We adopt an oddly-serene one-year-old male Pit Bull.
30: Ramona grows up - Perhaps the new dog has thrown her into a midlife crisis. Also, the idea of cloning Gretchen.
31: dogs that like walks - Neville isn't the best fit in our household, but maybe he'll improve. Also, our second set of tenants move into the Wall Street house.
