The Station: Luther division, et al
by D.O.
Some of you will undoubtedly appreciate these photos more than others. For those who don’t really know the significance of the two houses pictured above, maybe we can go have coffee (I’ll have water, thanks) and I can explain how influential those structures — and the events that transpired within –were in shaping me to become the person who you’re having coffee/water with. Actually, can we go have ice cream instead? I’ll pay.
I doubt I’ll ever get around to posting an adequate report of my current College Station visit (I tried twice in the past hour and both times failed miserably), but suffice it to say that I’ve met with many, many people who are absolutely beautiful in every sense of the word — and I’m not an exaggerating. The type of people who you want to take with you everywhere you go. People whose houses you don’t want to leave. People who let me call them friend, and who call me friend, despite my immense unworthiness of the title.
If I have hung out with/eaten with/talked to/hugged/seen you during this particular trip to the Station, rest assured that I am, in fact, talking about you. I’ve been unbelievably encouraged by each of you over these past few days, and I truly do count myself severely blessed to have you folks in my life.
And to you, wooden Texas flag, you make my heart just about as warm as the people I addressed above do.

Oh man…the Extreme is sooo extreme.
I wonder if the couch is as extreme at the extreme as it used to be…
Those of us who are in Kentucky (speaking for myself here in the form of the royal we) are jealous of those who are in Texas and the time with D.O.
You my friend need to come up for a visit, and know that we have a guest bedroom with a bed in it that has your name on it when you are ready. There is climbing, and banjos, and great cooking, and cars that I sell all right here in Louisville.
Toshi and I still talk about the great time we had in those two houses and the surrounding areas one weekend on an American Idol adventure. Good times in Texas.
I am undoubtedly not very happy about the recent posts on this blog. I mean… you started pushing buttons when you put a picture of Taco Bueno up… but now… College Station… eash! You really know how to push people over the edge. Just wait… you time is coming my friend…
DO,
I see that you are a graphic designer. Want to help me spruce up the ol’ blog?
and you are officially on my list of “blog to read” now, congrats! haha.
I’m so glad i got to see you when you were here! the world just got smaller! or at least, more accessible or something….
did you piece together enough nice clothes to go be a wedding photographer??
well now u can rest easy.
blaire stalks your blog. i tried to reassure you but now you have your own proof. you have made it to the big time. seriously, you need to celebrate this in some way.
in other news–it was just as great seeing you and spending time with you on our end as well (even if you didn’t try my spinach dip. i’m not bitter)
and thank you for the D.C. metro pass. although it might not work in September…
