On the bright side to everything falling apart means one (me) is in the unique position of being able to rebuild precisely how I want. Fitting as I'm currently in the process of renovating a house, and I just sold my car and am spec-ing out a new one, I feel like I'm literally and figuratively spec-ing out my whole life.

In the meantime - here's a recent picture since I've been a bit absent from this realm of the interwebs.
