OTHER COOL THINGS is the blog page where I go off topic. In other words, this is a page where I ramble about a wide variety of subjects which have nothing to do with the Cross House restoration or Emporia.

OTHER COOL THINGS is where I might suggest a great new restaurant. Or a movie I enjoyed, or book. Or a favored blog.

OTHER COOL THINGS may — fasten your seat belt — open discussions about dangerous subjects such politics or religion.

OTHER COOL THINGS will, in short, be a page where I ramble about anything which captures my special attention. Like, perhaps, a nice moment I had with my favorite cat Gilda.

I love comments, so please do not hesitate to toss your two cents in, even if you disagree with me.

My blog posts are below. Enjoy!

 

Gilda. My favorite ever cat.

  My online vintage lighting store.               I am uncertain how old the fixture is. Circa-1915? It would have originally been used in a commercial setting like a bank. Today, it would be a knockout in a kitchen.     My online vintage lighting store.

Inching Along…comfortably

        All this means that I will only need go up the ladder once a day. And down once a day. I loathe going up/down a ladder a hundred times to do a job. And it is dangerous. The new deck allows safety and comfort. Ross happy. It is not just the…
