Design & Grace

I spend most of my time at my kitchen store. I opened this in September 2004, moving to our permanent location on Main Street Grapevine TX in May 2005. It is frustrating that it takes so much time for people to recognize that we are there, but we make progress. The Historic Downtown is a gem, described by D Magazine as "Dallas Fort Worth's best kept secret". I tend to agree, but it seems that the real estate speculators are in the know because they are driving prices (and consequently rents) sky high. If only the traffic we see was proportional to the rent per square foot.

I pray for better days.

Long time no blog

I must say, I do like writing. If ever there's a problem, I'm the first to write a letter. I write for a trade magazine, 6 times a year. I've written PR stuff and other articles for magazines. So why am I so slow into this blogging caper?

I guess it's all a matter of time and priorities. I spend far too much time on Port Vale (Football Club) message boards. I work far too hard. I sleep far too much for an old man. I also have Bible study to do and other stuff.

But this is a determined attempt to blog better in 2007.

Maybe I can even earn some money at this?
