Back from a nice weekend in Blacksburg. Visited with the kids, met Marcus’ roommate and his puppy, caught a football game and generally had a nice time. Great weather and the Hokies got some revenge on ODU. If you recall, ODU took us to the…
Snow day. Came out to the shed, cleaned up my desk, got some inking done on a Wandering Cities drawing, and updated a few things on the website. Work has still been tough and the past two months maybe were the hardest I’ve ever had…
[Ipad| Procreate| digital sketch] It’s 2025. No big declarations here. 2024 was a fine year and I had plenty to be thankful for. I think for 2025 I’m just going to try to be more present with people and more conscious of my time. Maybe…
This morning I woke up to a 56 degree house. Put on a few layers and trudged out in the snow to check the oil tank. Empty. I guess the oil lasted just long enough to get us through the super-cold snap we had last…

In the thick of the end of year madness and it’s getting to me a little. But I did find some time the last couple days to do some drawing. I really like how it came out. The main figure’s anatomy is kinda wonky but…
Short blog post today. Spent the weekend doing chores and spending a little time outside. I did a round of raking leaves, cleaned my bike chain and gears, replaced the back tire (after literally wearing a hole on the old one last week), watched the…
Got a morning ride in. Hit the road around 6:45AM and it was already hot and oppressively humid. Ugh. Not sure if I was up for it this morning: just had no energy out there. But, whatever. I’ll be on vacation for a week starting…
Got up again this morning for a ride. Day 2/2. Roads were wet from overnight rain. Lots to think about but I blotted it out with an episode of the Square Ball podcast. Heading to Blacksburg this afternoon to help Colin move to a new…
