On the advice of Randy Deutsch, I have started reading Down Detour Road: An Architect in Search of Practice. This is a very interesting book which I can already see myself lending to all kinds of people I know, like my loving husband who is very sympathetic but has no clue what I'm going through. This book has a lot of advice for how to save our profession. Some of this advice reminds me of something Tom Fisher said when I was at the University of Minnesota. I always remember his thoughts were brilliant and he deserves more credit. But anyway, I'm very much looking forward to finishing Down Detour Road, and perhaps saving the world. In that order. Who can I get in on this project??
Oh yes, and why all the water. Well, not only have we had way too much rain lately which is making the chickens miserable, and seeping into the basement here, but also I thought of the moniker of Great Wake for our current economic slump coined by the author, Eric J. Cesal in the book. I think it is an appropriate term for our times. I often feel as though I'm in a raft with only one oar wobbling around in a Great Wake out in the ocean. Lost at sea... fabulous. Good thing I went to "fancy school."
And the flooding in Philadelphia means nobody can get to work. Yay! I think I'll take the afternoon off. Wake me when it's over.
