Phoenix rises, Furniture updates and Musicians from the 80's

...The Dirty Bird rises from the ashes to clutch me in it's claws!

Yep, I've got a job at Red Robin starting next week. I never thought I'd say it but... I'm glad to be working at the dirty bird. Ok, I'm not there yet (I start training on Tuesday). But I've got a job! I will be making money next week rather than just spending it. And I'll have a flexible enough schedule to focus on teaching, building community, and volunteering (all things I'd like to do here in Houston).

And no, I'm not done with the furniture making yet --
