I met Ed downtown on the evening of Tuesday September 4th to pore* over maps and scheme. And there's no better way** to... Continue Reading →
Hello friends! You may have read about my elected move to part time at my job. This was not only due to burn out, but to give myself more time to devote to creative endeavors. One of the things I will be working in the coming months is new publishing projects and other bits of... Continue Reading →
