‘Nuff said.
As a fellow “lex,” (actually I use 2″X’s”) all I can say is “right on!”
With my “architectural booklearnin’” I’m building a home for my family out of garbage.
Now, If I said that to someone at the store, they’d think I’d been stiffing the chemicals on aisle 5. But as soon as I utter the words “architect,” they get all “bright and sunny,” and start asking questions!
I even started a blog about it, so that they’d stop calling me! Check it out!
Great post, dude!
