I now own a house. That is, I now own a huge loan for a house, and the bank is letting me live there. It a 1350 sq. foot, three bedroom, ranch-style house directly adjacent to my own "Good Shepherd Reformed Episcopal Church and School" in Tyler. I intend to put it to heavy use as a gathering place for friends and allies, much like Steve and Adam's Traber 611, but rather less relaxed and more like a neighborhood intelligence and command center.
My first maneuvers from home will constitute planting two fruit-bearing plum trees in my front yard.

Do you have a Big Board?
don't know what that is
Dr. Strangelove, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb: George C. Scott doesn't want the Russian ambassador in the war room because "He'll see the Big Board!" It's a command center joke.
I have a Big Board.
SWEET!!!
My house is under construction. It should be completed around the first week of October. Let me say, next to asking a girl out when I was a sophomore at Wheaton, is the second scariest thing I have encountered in life. Does anyone have VanOoorts contact info? Please email me with it if you do. Ryan, I totally want to see pics of your new house. People are always welcome in Nashville if you want. It's a free place to stay while you explore.
If I were forced to guess, I would have put flying an army helicopter over Iraqi cities as more nerve-racking than asking out some chick at Wheaton. I obviously would have been wrong.
By the way, Dusty, you're more than welcome to say with me anytime you're in Austin. It's a free place to stay while you're breaking up with girls.
haha, yeah, no kidding. I thought you were in Iraq right now Dusty...guess not.
I am liking my house more and more.
My family and cousins helped me tear up the smelly old carpets in the house and clean and refinish the nice wooden floors that were hidden below. We also painted every room and it is now transformed into a very pleasant place, I think.
Party at Ryans!!! I'll bring the keg if we start a keg fund.
I am still in Iraq. I guess you could say I bought an iHouse over the net.
Hey Dusty, can I crash on your couch for a few years while I try to break into the country music scene as an intrepid songwriter?
as long as you bring a couple of shiner blondes when you come.
Two years of free rent in exchange for a couple of beers. Can I get that deal?
Wait, are you talking about beer or blonde girls from Shiner? I could go either way, but I want to make sure that I'm filling your order.
Ryan, do you have any pics of your house? I would love to see a few.
