I spent yesterday and the day before re-reading Casual Vacancy for the Pregnancy Trap 2 post I promised last week. Troy Honeycutt and his assistant Ashley came over to put up the final rafters on my 20′ Mongolian ger (Americans call them yurts but that is the Soviet word for “shack” that they used to dismiss traditional Mongolian tents and, with them, Mongolian nomadic life). Today we struggled to put on the cover (from believe it or don’t MongolianStore.com) and succeeded but it was too dark for pictures.
Tomorrow, Deo volente, I will finish my notes and charting of Casual Vacancy and share my findings in a post — along with pictures of my wife’s new Tai Chi studio. Thanks to my brother-in-law Craig Jahr for the carpentry work he did on the ring, to the Honeycutt team for assembling the pantograph walls and rafters, to Benedict Ovel for the ad hoc door he put together in January, and to my family and friends for the five years of Christmas Parties we celebrated inside the incomplete ger extended baby-gate sans ring and rafters.
