It’s been a minute since I last posted. I wound up defaulting to Facebook, but have recently found myself desiring a bit of distance from the platform in favor of a return to a more intimate, self-centered world of thought sharing. In the time since I last posted, I:
- Was hired as an in-house illustrator for Cognia (formerly Measured Progress), a non-profit standard assessment organization,
- Made the move from my paternal grandparents’ home (where I grew up) up to coastal New Hampshire for the job,
- Adopted a feline pal named Petro to provide Ambassador Doombringer companionship when I’m away all day at work,
- Lost my selfless grandfather less than 2 years after the move,
- Began officiating roller derby again, this time as an independent official, attaining certification again and enjoying the experience much more than the first go-round,
- Dove deeper than ever into motorcycling, gaining a significant amount of wrenching & riding experience on a 2016 Moto Guzzi V7 for 6 years now,
- Toured Spain, Turkey, and parts of Canada on motorcycle,
- Quit roller derby when Covid shut everything down, finding a convenient time to bow out this time to focus more on the art and save my knees from further damage,
- Bought a Ural sidecar motorcycle,
- Broke the Ural sidecar motorcycle,
- Sold the Ural sidecar motorcycle,
- Bought a sidecar for my Moto Guzzi,
- Broke the Moto Guzzi,
- Rebuilt the Moto Guzzi,
- Contemplated selling the Moto Guzzi,
- Bought a 1978 BMW R80/7 to replace the Moto Guzzi,
- Decided to keep the Moto Guzzi,
- Leased the car out instead to make room for 2 motorcycles and a sidecar,
- Dated wonderful women,
- Broke up with wonderful women,
- And kept the freelancing as a (very) leisurely side gig, focusing (slightly) more on personal projects.
…and now that we’re all caught up, let’s keep moving on. Stay tuned, and thanks for following!
