(this is an excerpt from writing a friend, yesterday—3/25)
Earlier today, I saw a guy on the side road next to an urban park (Overton Park) and a man was crouched over with a bundle of stuff on the ground. As I approached I thought he fell and hit his head. Based on the location, I thought it could have been one of the homeless that hangs out around the park, who fell and was gaining his composure. As I got closer I could see it was a guy, late 20s/early 30s with his head in his hand crying–hard. The bundle was a dog. I presume his pet that got away from him and ran out of the woods and got hit. I really felt his pain. I couldn’t stop because of the dangerous location and rush-hour traffic. Things can happen so fast.

My latest venture. I was heavily involved in developing the conference identity, and I designed the aiga design conference minisite. It’s been a good experience working with AIGA national staff. Can’t wait for the conference to get here.

These have officially lost their midtown charm, and may as well be located in Bartlett; which seemed to be the crowd when I went. What a shame.

How did your love affair with Porsche begin?
When I had completed my freshman year @ Va Tech, I was visiting my sister & her husband who had a good friend with a Porsche. He let me drive it for a few days while I was visiting, and I was hooked bad. I talked their friend into selling me the car before I returned home.
What model was your first Porsche?
I bought the friend’s car for $2,500 before I returned home. It was a 1960 model 356B convertible.
How many have you owned (list model and year for all)?
1960 356B-Wish I still Owned
1975 914 -Currently Own
1980 911-Currently Own

If you could own any Porsche from any era, which would be and why?
I’ve never seen a Porsche that I didn’t want, but I would like to own & drive a well maintained 935.

I like the DE’s and the opportunity to drive at speed with experienced drivers in a safe environment.
