That which we traverse,
That gift or that curse,
To hell or to heaven,
Seventy seven.

Was going to check in and post a bit about how I was back a bit, back when I was, but now - ten work days, two full weekends and eight concert nights later - I'm off again. Off the grid. Off the lid. Super stoked when: life is open.

And if it rains? Be super soaking.

See y'all again later this September! I have big plans this time. As usual. Summer fires you up. Let's see if maybe this winter I can actually keep that fire going; make something of that drive.

Got a new car btw. Smooth transition. My first car. More on that later.

It's raining here today, on this side of the equator.
But don't just sit inside! Get out there and saver.
The way we live our lives, the way we regret or we waver.
It's not the way. I think I'll stop today.

I'll see you greater.

Friendly super artist friend (?) Chutney glorified a recent review I'd written. Shout out.

And that's not even the saddest one. Oh my god... I barely knew the dude, but the feels some of these evoke...

I didn't grow up in the grand universe this great man created, but I've been spending more and more time there these last few years, so I guess I might've become a pretty big Marvel fan after all.

Didn't draw anything but I did write a poem:

Haiku for a bright
Morning when the world wakes up
To life...

(Ellipses - three syllables.)

Read on...

So it's that time of the year once again! When we fill up our pantry, then gather together to feast like beasts and be friendly with family. :)

I thought I'd have a few days more to prepare (a blog), but time flies when you're having fun packing presents. May your day be merry, though! I'm off to spend some time watching people unpack all those presents I just spent half the day wrapping... after a hopefully good meal and get-together.

Some spontaneous inspired Christmas poetry for the day:

Christmas time is nigh!
I look up at the sky...
Though all I see is ceiling.
Still seems a bit appealing.

Merry Christmas!
Or whatever it is you celebrate where you're at.

Alternatively: And don't forget the hat.
