A mid-December update

Hey all! I realize that it’s been a few weeks since I’ve had a “real” post here. What can I say, things have been busy. I’ve been travelling a lot and working on getting ready for craft fairs. I’ve been working creatively, but not in a blogging way. I had plans to do write ups of my trips, but as the end of the month keeps on barreling along, I realize that I’m not going to. So, a condensed li’l update!

Texas Trip: Myself, Emee, and her two kids flew to Texas for the Thanksgiving holiday. We were there from November 19th and 27th and spent it in Austin and Houston. It was nice to get away for awhile, and also nice to see Texas again, last time I was there was 2005. We managed to have some fun (so much good food!) but it was good getting home! Houston wasn’t bad and I liked Austin to some degree (but not as much as I thought I would.) But there’s a reason I live in the Northwest. Of course, you can’t beat 70F weather in late November…

Seattle Trip: We were only back a day, then Emee and I hopped on Amtrak (my preferred long-distance travel besides bikes) to head up to Seattle on November 29th. If you’re wondering why we’d leave town so soon, it was because of a work trip for Emee. We were there less than 48 hours. I managed to get a good bike ride on and hang out with my friend Theo.

Other: Getting ready for Bike Craft this weekend has taken up a lot of my time. I just finished up the newest comic, NEW OLD STOCK 333 (available in my store) while piecing together the new SOCIETY OF THREE SPEEDS membership kit. There hasn’t been a lot of time for “fun” activities, but hopefully after this weekend things will open up a bit!
