Team Rio Grande

The taste of defeat. It actually tastes a lot like when you scoop out the last remaining bites of soy-ice cream (cause dairy doesn’t go so well with Allen) into a nice bowl in your kitchen. Then as you reach down to the counter to pickup the container to take out to the recycling bin - how Boulder - you happen to knock that precious bowl of ice cream onto the floor of the kitchen. While you watch it fall, you think “Oh no, that is the last of my ice cream….” and you’re not even considering the part still to come.

The part where the ice cream flies out of the bowl and onto the floor while the bowl shatters into 6 large, and 100 tiny, ceramic chunks. Where does Ceramic-Cunk Ice Cream come from? From all the happy little chunks of ceramic-bowl that give this fantastic ice cream its texture after you’ve picked it up off the floor and put it in another bowl.

Wait, you were thinking of throwing that ice cream out? Psh, I doubt that’s carbon neutral.

Outside of inventing Ceramic Chunk Ice-Cream, I’ve been quite busy. To name a few things:

• Sold my car. Now spending the money I should be saving to live on.

• Breathing new life into KrughPhoto. I just purchased a studio lighting setup for a job which I’m still finalizing the details on. But I’ll keep you posted. I’m going to get some work into the site soon and make it much prettier.

• Remodeling the house. My parents and I went bought a house that I’ll live in approximately 6 months from now. My friend/teammate Ryan Hamity and I are doing the core of the remodel including:
  1. New wood flooring in the upstairs - stay tuned for this adventure
  2. -Framing a new floating wall w/door in the basement to convert it into a large bedroom. Removing carpeting on walls and replacing with drywall (yes, I said carpeted walls).
  3. -Recovering the flat roof/deck in the back with new paint/sealant.
  4. -Removing all the kitchen cabinets, appliances and a wall. Insulating walls and recovering with new drywall.
  5. -Removing all marble in the bathroom, replacing with drywall and insulating.
  6. - Installing slate flooring in the bathroom
  7. - Painting the interior of the house

…And that is pretty much the core of the short list…

• And I went and saw Brian Regan the other day with my family. Really funny stuff. Check out his 1 hr long stand up on Itunes. Worth the dollar or so.
