The only piece of vital equipment still missing is the fax machine, which has given rise to an increased amount of stair laps between the old and new offices. Surveying the job site, there are still things under construction. My overhead light fixture, or lack thereof, features glowing bare bulbs, and the door is minus final staining, trim and a knob. As I look around, though, my eyes land on the new corner wall, where my daughters convinced their father to give them an apprentice painting lesson. A few little paint spots on the carpet remind me that this move was indeed a family affair.
Home is where the heart is, and the ever-growing office as well.
