Hope everyone had a great Christmas. It’s been awhile – about a year and a half since I last wrote. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is still the best way to communicate since social media more or less ‘won’t have me.’ I think that’s funny and I’m trying to get back on, but for now, I have a few things to tell you about and I’m glad to do it in this space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do any of you remember that book I was working on forever? Well, forever has finally arrived and I’ll release it soon as we clear up a few business details. Here’s what the cover looks like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to Robert Horn (roberthorn.us) for a great job putting it together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the blog will go on much as before; various ramblings, pics, recipes, slice-of-life. Depending on how much time I have to get into it, we might see the return of Pipe Guy! Only this time, it will be in fictionalized form: The Adventures of Pipe Guy. There’ll be a new character, and he’s pretty cool. I’ll have to see if I can procure the rights to some art work I found. I’ve written a theme, too, and recorded some of it, but it’s still in early stages of development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haven’t had a chance to do much photography lately, but Christmas brought back some memories of when I’d grab my DSLR and bear sleet, fog, wind and snow, load up in the van, and go out and shoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first one was from my old Jeff Pk. neighborhood, Dec. 2009. Looks like the neighbors down the block had their own generator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the second one, I got lucky – shot it right as the deer sneezed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last one I used as my Christmas card this year and I want to share it with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a great week and maybe I’ll see you on New Year’s Eve!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
