Casey loves his workroom. While he has a full-time staff, he likes to get his hands into the work. He walks through, looking at the mannequins, which still don't quite have the clothes draping as well as they do on a woman. He fixes a button that's come undone here, a scarf that's fallen down there. It's familiar, comforting, just what he needs. He makes his way slowly to his office - if the chaos of the room deserves that name. It's organized, true, but even he has moments he can't find what he's looking for in the time frame he's given himself - which is not always immediately.

Jun. 22nd, 2017 12:53 amEven knowing everything, I kept in loose touch with my family. My parents are at the age they need to move to assisted living.
In another time, another place, I'd have stayed and been their caregiver. In another time, another place, I'd be moving back in with them.
But it isn't happening. Because of too many things, water under the bridge that still holds pain.
They didn't ask. I'm grateful for that.
Perhaps, too, just the smallest bit guilty that I feel glad. But just the smallest bit.
Which only tells me that everything, no matter how painful, happens for the right reasons.

I know it's old-fashioned, but as much as we can do these things on a computer, I like working with a desk, a piece of pristine white paper, and sketching out the outline of plans first. Sure, it eventually goes onto the computer in one form or another, before becoming a building that is going to mean the world to someone, but that first, sense-filled experience is what I need to be able to realize that building someday> Oh, sure, I don't actually do the building - though a few years back I did work construction - but without me, it wouldn't exist. It just feels so right to be able to feel the beginning as much as the end. At least for me. Even if it is old-fashioned.

"I'd of course be honored to be your best man when you decide to do the big ceremony." Ben says. He looks down at the table, searching for some reason he can leave the room for a moment to get his bearings. "I forgot to bring out waters, you can't live on coffee alone or so Jim tells me. I'm just going to grab a couple of bottles. Did you need anything else while I'm up?" he asks even as he's standing and heading towards the kitchen.
