Sacked by the "downturn", an unemployed architect touring the country in a bus...




I used to live in New York City. I designed homes for the tycoons of Wall Street; Park Avenue, Scarsdale, Greenwich. It was great fun. And, after years of saving up for a down payment, I was just about to buy my own little place in Fleetwood, half an hour north of the city, when the economy fell apart. Architects are like canaries in a coal mine when the economy slows, and true to form, there were massive layoffs in firms all over the country. Devastation of the profession. So, I decided to try to find something else to do for a while. I bought a 23' school bus and I'm on the road to see if I can figure out what that might be.

Pictures from a moving afternoon....

The previous post is in "INTERMISSION" while I take a moment to post some pictures from yesterday.  Be sure to read the previous "I'm still here.." and I'll pick up soon.  Also, new readers, please don't miss "Katrina Relief" down a little bit, to see what I'm doing here.  But for now, check out the right hand column and find "Manuel and Lucinda" for yesterday's pictures from a moving afternoon.

    Hi Dawn,

    Thanks so much. I see you are traveling for an extended time, too. Isn't it great?
    I'll be in the city of New Orleans for the next couple of days. You can send me an e-mail if you and your hubby would like to get a cup a' joe. RoyPertchik@gmail.com
