The Renovation at One

That's right folks, we're now one year into our 7 month renovation (but who is counting?). Here are some photos of the latest.
The Conservative Wahoo
The Blog: A compendium of thoughts on politics, world affairs, economics, pop culture and social issues, from the center right perspective of me--Bryan McGrath--a University of Virginia graduate who spent a career in the world's greatest Navy keeping my mouth shut about politics and social issues (ok, publicly keeping it shut). Those days are over! Pull up a chair and chime in where you will. Keep it clean, civil, concise and relevant.
The Fish: The fish is a "coat of arms" for the blog, symbolizing three formative influences in the life of the blog founder. The first is his experience at the University of Virginia--symbolized most importantly by the fish itself, or a caricature of a "Wahoo", the fish we have acquired as an informal nickname. Additionally there is the sword, the sword of a Cavalier. It is not wielded in a threatening manner, as this is a civil blog. But it is there, should it be needed. Thirdly, there is the influence of 21 years in the Navy--symbolized by the anchor on the Wahoo's fin (and again, the sword) . Finally, there is the bowler, tuxedo, and monocle, symbols of a refined, intellectual conservatism, or what I seek to encourage here.
The Policy: I take FULL responsibility for what I write. I will not be held responsible for the content of my comments section--as long as it is civil and passes my own inscrutable sniff tests, it will appear. If the comment offends you, that is on you.

7 months and counting. You should've ensured it was shovel ready before starting.
Seriously, it's looking great. When will you be inviting all your loyal readers for the house warming?
There will be some kind of fest to usher in the new look. Just don't know when yet. Like to actually finish the job....
Gawd, it's beautiful.
But when are you going to lose the cat and get a real pet? It would be good if next time you show us pictures, we see a golden retriever on the bed.
The dog negotiations have begun. I am lobbying for none--girls want two. Probably get one.
Time for a catered pig-pickin'; beer, booze, a few questionable local females and a live band.
Hammer - See if you can find CW a nice puppy. Maybe a walker or a redbone. I'm kind of partial to black and tans but I don't want to force my tastes on CW. No matter what you get him, make sure it is something with a good deep howl when it picks up the scent of a marauding nocturnal critter. And get a male that likes to wander. Will be interesting to see how fast those hound genes find themselves into the carefully husbanded lines from the upper crust of Easton's Labrador kennels.
Beautiful!
