Opened up some entries

About a month ago I locked down this journal and made it friends only for a variety of reasons.

In November 2005, I convinced two friends ([livejournal.com profile] learnedax and [livejournal.com profile] pax_industria) to go down to Mississippi and New Orleans with me to help with the disaster relief efforts after Hurricane Katrina. I just unlocked those posts; they're tagged as "Waveland" (Waveland was the unfortunately named town in Mississippi where we were based most of the time we were down there). If you want to read them, go to http://new-man.livejournal.com/tag/waveland

Not unlike Flood Street, which runs through the Lower Nine.

You might put a link to the posts;)

I might, but I think LJ has a nifty built-in function that allows a reader (like you) to view all posts tagged with a given subject.

Ah, but even THIS reader didn't think about it;)

Yeah, I know you can search by tags, but if you think something is important enough to write, and important enough to not only read, but RE-read, it's lovely to make it easy to do so.

Just sayin'.

And J checked weights to send stuff back per your suggestion. 100 pound cap. Unless I sell every original I'm bringing, it's ain't gonna happen;)

Shipping back -- split it into two packages. It'll still be cheaper.

Don't have two packages to put it in.

The crate is wood & built specifically to house the paintings.

It'll be about $200 less expensive on the way home, cuz it can take it's time.

Next time, we'll know.

Well then I just hope you sell 50 pounds worth of artwork...

LOL - Paintings by the pound! Who want's a slice?

My next venture, jigsaw puzzles;)

Why not? You've already got the images. Put 'em on as many things as people will buy.

That explains why it's been a while since I saw an entry from you.

Can I be your friend?

-your new gopher (still squealing like a fangirl because of it, too)

The other reason you haven't seen much lately is I haven't been posting very much. You're added... (I am reminded how much I wish LJ used some term other than 'friend.)
