Ok, so it’s been a while since I updated this. My reasons are, I just moved to Baltimore, and am super busy. When I’m not super busy, there’s so much stuff to write about that I kind of get overwhelmed, and end up not writing anything. So, I decided to break my moving tale into this:

I drove from Sacramento, CA to Baltimore, MD in four days. My Dad came with me, and it was a good time. When we got to Baltimore, we visited with family and prepped the place I’m staying. Now he’s back in Sacramento, and I am here, and things are going good.

There.

What I want to talk about today is the grandfather clock that is in the back room here, where my office / living room is. It’s from my great-grandfather, so historically it’s nice to have around. The issue is, it hasn’t ran in over ten years. When my Dad was here, him and my Uncle properly seated the face of the clock, and got it running. Now, it needs a cleaning, and as a result, all the chimes are a little bit off, and some of them don’t always hit.

Result? It sounds like a haunted house grandfather clock. At first, it kind of creeped me out, hearing the discordant chimes every fifteen minutes. Especially at night. But now it just kind of makes me laugh, so I’m going to keep it alive, by raising the weights on it every couple of days. And I like hearing the manly ticking noises it makes. Makes it feel very Victorian around here.

Anyway, now I need to find a bank to join around here.
