De/construction

Now that the summer is over and I'm not at home as much, the destruction/construction work in the downstairs apartment that went on for over two noisy and smelly months is also wrapping up. This is the good news. Now that I'm at the office more, though, they've begun ripping out the (concrete) walls in the Chinese Language Center downstairs from me and drilling through what's left. It's like I'm leaving a path of construction in my wake...

I've always thought of you as a pretty destructive guy...

Jonathan, would you mind coming over to my house for some tea; the walls need some repairing. Please bring your construction bubble with you.

You ready to have your walls knocked down, Clyde? I don't just play around...

Clyde Said:

Yeah, Jonathan, but I was thinking really small cups of tea. Wouldn't that help?

One thing I found out over the summer is that these construction guys don't have a sense of time. In fact, they're still at the apartment--we were awakened by more drilling this morning and the smell of turpentine filled our bathroom. And they bring their own Whisbih, which they might mix with the tea...
