The sellers have countered, and now we return the volley.

We’ve submitted an offer on a house, and now comes the counter offer.  We’ll see how this works out.

After 11 days away from work, that January 3rd alarm clock comes pretty painfully early.

Went to a surprise party tonight for a friend who has just finished law school like a champ.  I can’t imagine putting myself through something like that.  So cheers, Jason — enjoy that well-deserved drink!  Oh, and then the months of agonizing bar prep…

Several sketches ago, I paid respect to “@thelonelypie” — and today it was time to do so once again.  I didn’t know what to draw today, and he stepped in and supplied me with a bunch of really solid ideas.  Unfortunately, they were all more complex than I had energy for.  So instead, we have a little tribute to the man himself.

Spent most of the day with a couple dozen friends, chopping up trees into firewood.  (This of course included the tree from Sketch #285.)  It’s part of an annual fundraiser, and definitely one of the most fun Sundays of the year.  Of course, that means tomorrow is one of the most achy Mondays of the year…

Drove up the Central Valley today — been a while since I did that.  On my way to the mountains for a good time this weekend.  In the absence of anything else to sketch, I drew one of these things (of which I passed a few today).

I had to clear out a blocked downspout to keep up with all the rain we’ve been getting.  Today’s sketch celebrates my in-hindsight-super-idiotic decision to go up on the roof  in a thunderstorm carrying a 10-foot metal pole.  Thankfully, the worst case scenario depicted here didn’t actually play out.  I live to sketch another day!

Pretty much spent the whole day doing back-to-back stupid/awesome activities with friends.  The annual horror/delight of the “scrambled eggsnog” breakfast, an early matinee of TRON, some more LEGO assembly, filling my face with delicious tacos, and finally a collective screening of a bad B-movie.  It’s a pity days like this can’t last forever.

Tonight, my wife felt like making a great meal that she hasn’t made for a while.  Mmmmm….meatloaf.  But since I’ve already sketched meatloaf itself, I figured I’d go with some of the tools of the trade for today’s drawing.
