Transition

Heading into a transition period, albeit one I’ve had the privilege of knowing was coming for a long time. Needed to take the last week to clear out my head, get some things done around the house, and get comfortable with a big change in a couple of months. Overall, it’s a good thing — nine years is a long time to do a single job. But at the same time, I’m bringing to an end a phase that has been 20 years of my life, and that’s not an easy thing. The next few weeks will be interesting, as we prepare to hand over the reins.

The elections were so bad on so many levels. While I wasn’t writing here, I became addicted to Wonkette, with daily updates on Congressman McChokey and just an unbelievable array of scandals involving the cast of misfits that passes for our leadership these days, and that certainly helped me to get comfortable with the idea of change. Time to be away from all this.

What I lack in words I’ve been making up in images. Among the long-undone projects I need to do is a redesign of this terrible page, and an integration with my photography so I’ve got a true photoblog. Maybe over the holidays. In the meantime, don’t forget to love the pixels over at my Flickr pages.
