I miss the Turnip Truck

I've been neglecting you, Oh Turnip Truck.

I've been very busy at work, staying late almost every day (which is why I am here, so no complaints about that). I then take the 1 train from the Houston stop north 150-ish blocks. I am really getting used to the ride I think. I can now nap for 30 minutes of the 35-minute ride, and wake up just as we are passing 125th Street, three stops south of my stop, at 157th.

I'm getting to start a new project this week, a remodel of a space into a dance studio. I have started by designing ADA-compliant bathrooms, (ADA is the American Disability Act) which is pretty tricky in this case, since they must fit into a certain footprint and be maneuvered around existing structures.

This weekend I slept in. Saturday afternoon I went to the Brooklyn Flea. I saw some pretty neat furniture, and if I'd taken the time to browse the clothes, I'm sure I'd have found neat stuff there too. If I move to New York in the future, (and have a real job and a real lease) I think it would be really cool to furnish a place just by flea-market shopping.

I'm planning to check out a brewery this weekend, not sure which. I want to find a nice local beer or two. Also, just found out that my friend Sabrina is coming up in a couple of weeks, and I'm very excited to get to see her!

I'm posting a couple of pictures form the office. The photo at the top of the post is what you see when you step off the elevator. Quite a jumble of great stuff! I really like the two matching chairs below. I am not sure who designed them, but they look like Borge Mogensen. If anyone has a definite i.d., I'd love to know!

This desk is pretty cool, obviously and antique of some sort. I made a picture of this one for mother and father, as I thought it might be closer to their time period of interest. More talk later. I've got more to say about my weekend, but my fingers are out of words.
