Compound Update

It is received wisdom in these parts that we will all one day live in the same house/compound and make merry. We continue to be on the lookout for the appropriate venue (and the necessary funds). Details.

We've got a new contender this morning, and it's both spacious and imbued with a great deal of Gheorghe.

You may recall that I tucked a small story about visiting the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center in Santa Rosa, CA in a Gheorghasbord post in October 2017. It remains one of my favorite museums. Sparky was a righteous fella.

And now, if we can come up with $3.25m, we can own the house he and his first wife Joyce Halverson built and lived in from 1960 to 1972. 2162 Coffee Lane in Sebastopol, CA sits on 9.15 acres in the country, midway between Santa Rosa and the Pacific Coast. The 6,805 square-foot house has six bedrooms and six and a half bathrooms, in addition to a guest house. It's got a pool and a pond. Pond would be good for us. It's a peach of a mid-century modern. 

Lemme know if y'all want to make an appointment to visit. I'm pretty busy next week, but I'll make time.

  2. CJ Stroud may well be a marked man right now. That hit on Lawrence was some major bullshtein.

  5. Aww, I’ll fly steerage these days. But in small towns like mine, there’s always someone with a ticket connection to ODU stuff.

  6. You can take the baller out of the game, but you can't take the game out of the baller.

  7. This would-be baller has decided to stay in and decorate the tree with the fam. Can't imagine the game is on the telly...

  8. It's a shame to lose someone who has some size and eligibility, but family is important. You can all listen on the radio to set the yuletide mood.

  9. crowdsourcing some negotiating advice from the assembled wisefolk. my kid is going to italy in may for a three-week study abroad program. very cool opportunity with a professor she really likes. i support it muchly. the school is charging out of state students $1800 more than in-state kids because...they can. curious about how you'd approach a conversation about knocking that extra cash off the fees.

  12. ODU hits a halftime buzzer beater 3 to go up 2 at the break. Seems like the same old sorry assed Tribe.

  13. no quit in the tribe. not much talent, either.

  14. Tribe did fight til the end, but the ODU squad outshot them behind the arc and was 15-17 from the line. Gotta do better against a weak opponent.

  15. rob, at very least I'd ask someone to explain cost discrepancy for an overseas academic trip for which all are treated equally and have same access and opportunity. I get difference between in-state and out-of-state tuition costs -- alleged benefit for state residents. But in a side program in which all participants are no longer "in-state" it appears to be administered inequitably. Like I said, make 'em explain and justify it, dodgy as it's likely to be.
