You Want To Paint

In this episode - You Want to Paint . . .

Are you considering giving your home a fresh, new look? Whether you're moving into a new space or simply craving a change, there's no denying the beauty of a well-executed paint job in transforming the ambiance of your living space. When it comes to finding the right professionals for the job, look no further than "The Painting Company" in North County San Diego. As one satisfied customer, I’m excited to share my experience with this top-notch company.

I’ve been putting this project off for a long time. When I finally decided to take on our home interior painting project, my friends and neighbors were kind enough to volunteer their help, assuring me that “it would be a breeze.” Realistically, the walls of our home have 18-foot vaulted ceilings and rounded corners that needed major repair work. I did not have the necessary tools, confidence, or expertise to complete this project.

For example, during my four-year experience working at Home Depot Rental, I grudgingly listened to customers (bonehead questions) demanding a refund because paint sprayers were "malfunctioning." However, upon further investigation, it was evident that the equipment was not the problem--rather, it was the operator's lack of experience and skill. I’m sorry, but watching a YouTube tutorial does not qualify one as a professional painter.

I wanted a team of professionals who could bring our vision to life. The Painting Company came highly recommended by Angi, and now I understand why. I received Sara's welcoming call, we scheduled an appointment, and I knew this company was perfect for me.

A few days later, I met Wayne Benton, the project estimator; I was impressed by his professionalism, eye for color, and dedication to the company. His commitment to customer service was evident in his friendly greeting, firm handshake, and warm eye contact. I was also relieved that their in-house team of skilled painting professionals would handle the project—no outside contractors.

Once the job started, we had the privilege of working with Manuel, the project's foreman, and his skilled team, who demonstrated a remarkable commitment to perfection. Every detail, brushstroke, and skillful handling of the paint sprayer was executed with precision and care. The result was a finished product that exceeded our expectations. The transformation was remarkable, breathing new life into our home.

While the quality of their work speaks volumes, The Painting Company doesn't stop there. Their reputation (from the online reviews) for punctuality, fair pricing, and outstanding customer service is well-deserved. From the very beginning, I felt valued as a customer. They understood the importance of my project and took the time to ensure that every concern, question, and preference was addressed.

As a satisfied customer, If you're in the North County San Diego area and seek professionals to breathe new life into your home, look no further. Call Sarah and tell her Patrick Ball sends his heartfelt thank you. The Painting Company is a rare gem in customer service. Their outstanding dedication to their craft and customers made our project stress-free and enjoyable.

I get it; you’re a do-it-yourselfer who wants to save a few bucks. If you’re confident in your painting ability, go ahead and paint. Otherwise, consider seeking professional assistance to ensure the job is done correctly.

I'm Patrick Ball; thanks for listening. See you in the next episode.

Noirmoutier: An Ocean Between Us, Gone in a Moment

In this episode, Noirmoutier: An Ocean Between Us, Gone in a Moment. Sometimes love waits half a century for its moment — and when it finally arrives, time doesn’t stand still; it disappears. The moment I stepped off the train in Nantes, it felt like time froze. There she was — my cousin Michèle — waiting on the platform, arms waving desperately. When we finally embraced, the fifty years that had passed between us disappeared in an instant. The melody in her voice was the same, but softer than I remembered. We both shed tears of joy that only come from love long overdue. “I’m so happy you are here,” she whispered, her voice trembling.   Thank goodness for the translation app on my phone, because the conversation began immediately — fast, fluid, and unstoppable. The Frenzy of Catching Up As we drove for about an hour to the tiny town of L’Épine on the Island of Noirmoutier, the words kept tumbling out. Michèle and her husband, Alain, are the most gracious hosts — but my new challe...

Patience – the Only First-Class Ticket

In this episode, Why Patience is the Only First-Class Ticket They say travel broadens the mind. After eight days sailing the Rhône with 140 fellow luxury vacationers, I can confirm it also tests patience, calf strength, buffet strategy, and one's tolerance for people furious that France insists on being French. Don't get me wrong—I adored this trip. The river shimmered like liquid optimism. The villages looked hand-painted. The pastries could negotiate world peace. But somewhere between Ship Horn Hello and Bon Voyage, we'd inadvertently boarded a floating behavioral research study disguised as a holiday. Our ship was less a cruise and more a ferry for the Sailors of Status. ⌚ The Wristwatch Wars Some passengers approached relaxation like yogis. Others treated leisure like a final exam with extra credit. I came to believe certain luxury watches emit ultrasonic signals that only their owners can detect. A frequency calibrated to trigger rapid movement toward any line forming...

Our Journey to Avignon

🇫🇷 Lost in Transition: Our Journey to Avignon (Part 1) When everything that can go wrong—does—sometimes grace still finds you. Our Monday morning trip began on the quiet island of Noirmoutier , where salt marshes and sea breezes whisper of simpler days. From there, our early morning drive was uneventful; we arrived at the Nantes station with plenty of time to spare. From Nantes to Paris Montparnasse, everything went smoothly—so we thought, until it didn't. That's when things started to unravel. If you've never traveled the Paris Metro , imagine a vast underground maze pulsing beneath the city—corridors twisting into one another, trains roaring in and out of the dark, staircases that rise and fall like riddles. It's efficient, yes—but only if you know where you're going. We had over an hour and a half to make our next train to Avignon —plenty of time. Or so we believed. We needed to reach the Gare de Lyon station, where our TGV (high-speed train) was headed south...

Paris – the End of Silence

✈️  In this special episode: Paris – the End of Silence Sometimes, connection arrives in the most unexpected form—not through grand gestures, but through a quiet voice carried by technology. In a Paris apartment, I finally understood my family’s words . . . and felt my mother’s presence in every sentence. Since I was a little boy, France has been both a beautiful and frustrating paradox in my life. Every six to nine years, my mother, Mauricette, would take my brothers and me back to La Rochelle to visit our French family. The moment we arrived, the air would fill with a sound I loved but couldn’t share in—the rapid-fire, musical rhythm of French. My aunts, uncles, and cousins would warmly sweep me into hugs and kisses, their words flowing like a lovely melody I couldn’t quite catch. I’d smile brightly, trying to communicate with my eyes and hands. But as soon as we stepped off the plane, my mother and her sister-in-law, Joséan, started talking animatedly. They were gone, chatting h...
