The
Best of Talbert Briar in 2002
2002 followed in the "grand" tradition of 2001 with the world economic
downturn, people losing jobs left and right, and an overall feeling of
gloom. It was also the year of our move to France, and this event
managed to consume nearly the entire year. I spent the first 6 months
of the year working day and night on business projections and plans,
immigration requirements, and all the details of managing the
international relocation (selling off most of our property in the US,
personal goods, arranging shipping for what we were bringing over,
searching out new furniture and appliances, etc). Then we arrived in
the summer and found the place a real mess, with the transition of
ownership handled very poorly, and spent the next 6 months just trying
to put things in some sort of order that would allow us to start
working and making money again. Because of all the other activity that
went on, very few pipes were made in 2002, but I've picked a few of the
better examples below.
