I called my sister last night, and she finally got her furniture and stuff at their apartment in Baltimore. The moving van was only almost two weeks late delivering their stuff. They still don't know why this happened as the moving company didn't give them a straight answer. they are proceeding with a grievance, especially since the company didn't give them a promised discount.
I would be absolutely, positively, fuming mad. I'm sure Laura was too, but after a while, they still have your stuff, and what can you do?
She and Ed are liking Baltimore, and the people in her apartment building, a converted schoolhouse, have been friendly, telling them local restaurants and letting them borrow a television and some pots and pans while they waited for their stuff. That's really encouraging. Laura's job seems to be going well, though she's having to get used to working for a smaller firm, where she was used to working for a big firm where she was a small cog. Now she's got a lot of experience compared to some of the people in the office.
She told me that she doesn't have a desk next to the window, but she's close to a window over looking the ballpark, as their office is in the warehouse at Camden Yards. The other side of the office looks out on the harbor and Chesapeake Bay. What I wouldn't give to have the view of the ballpark from my desk.
I forgot to ask her about the passing of architect Philip Johnson, who has several noteworthy buildings in Houston and around the country. He was gay, but he was also a fascist in his youth too, so you can't always win. He designed the Crystal Cathedral in California, be he also designed some of the most famous corporate buildings around, like New York's AT&T Building. Currently there's a design for the Cathedral of Hope, the gay-friendly church in Dallas, that Johnson designed that's in the can, it's just waiting for the church to raise enough money to build it. It will be interesting to see if this legacy of Johnson's will be built.
