Slap together bookshelves at Target, approx. 3 for $100, twice over now. Boards from Lumberman's, six 6'ers for $46, milk crates swiped and bartered for from gas stations across this bioregion we call Cascadia.

Eamon works his little pitooty off every few weeks and enters another hundred books. I build shelves, push papers and email around, add links to existing websites, shirk duties and responsibilities like a duck dislikes water off its back. Slowly, slowly, we build this empire-to-be. Stay tuned. I will one day hire all the readers of this blog, how's that for a carrot to be dangled in the face of racing life?
