We Got This!

"I tell him I tried. I tried to keep memory alive; I tried to fight those who would forget. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. There is so much injustice & suffering crying out for our attention. We must take sides. We must interfere. -E.W.

Things are Coming Together

March 11, 2013 by Ryan's Rally LLC 13 Comments

Last week Ryan and I were able to get into our new office and begin putting it in order. Ugh, there is still so much to be done. I’m not sure if it’s the way it’ll always be, but we are spending eight to nine hours there. We even went in for a few hours on Saturday, although I don’t expect that happening often. My wife was away and the house felt empty so Ryan and I jumped in the van (thank you Koons Automotive) and headed over.

We did get some major projects accomplished. For one, I installed a surveillance system that records everything… all the time. I did this not so much for property security, but to protect myself from frivolous accusations. Ryan is prone to injury no matter how careful I am. We all remember that trouble-making idiot filing a claim with Adult Protective Services over a year ago, right? For the record, that claim was dismissed as “Unfounded” and actually made me be considered the gold standard of care. My rule is simple; Ryan is under video surveillance all the time.

Nester Enterprise donates a conference table!

Nester Enterprise donates a conference table!

Late in the week a cabinet making company, Nester Enterprise, donated a brand new conference table and two pieces of cabinetry with countertop. Hey, we all might need to stand, but we have a table! Anyhow, this donation goes a long way in meeting my goal to be ready for operations on March 18th.

Next, getting office chairs — a half-dozen — is on my short list of items still needed. That, and a vinyl or leather couch for Ryan and visitors (and myself) to relax on.

I love that Ryan is getting out everyday. Even just the feel of riding in the van must be nice for him. I bet he even likes listening to the 80’s station as we make our way. I know he was a huge fan of that decade’s music. What a far cry from the stuff they are putting out now where anyone with a computer can be a one hit wonder (and I use the word “hit” loosely).

This week will be much like the last. We’ll spend our days at the office. These are days that combine his therapies with getting us business-ready. I’m just happy I’m past all the time I had to spend on the phone and computer getting all the tax, licensing, and business registrations legalized (in Loudoun County).

    Hi Ken, after three long years, you are getting out into the world with your son and I am sure he’s loving it!! The two of you can be together during the morning/evening commute, listen to awesome 80’s music and let the breeze blow through your hair. During the day you can work together to achieve the various goals you have set. The change of scenery must be refreshing! I’m sure it feels good to get back home in the evening too. I can hardly believe all this is happening; it almost seems surreal!! Your belief in what could be is now reality. It is a wonderful thing to see — and there’s so much more to come!!
    Love, hugs, prayers and hope always –
    Paula

    Have you tried Freecycle.com. I still can’t figure it out exactly, but a friend of mine found a company that was cleaning out their office and had tons of binders and furniture.
