Overdue update. We're back together, and I think stronger this time. Being apart just didn't make sense. It wasn't worth the grief. We're both happy.
Work is keeping busy. I recently picked up a pretty cool new freelance gig, designing a lighting system for a juggling and aerial company that's converting an old car garage into a home space for them to rehearse and perform...

Well, we all know you have style, Squinty.
Well. The lady and I are taking a break, and it feels like getting back together would be an uphill battle. I think we're in agreement that it's necessary but it still hurts.

Really? Sadly, I only know a couple of songs because I've played them to death after a few lessons and over a year's practice to get there.

Hey Squinty. Honestly, no amount of condolences, timely or otherwise, would make better the worst thing that has ever happened to me. I just appreciate the sentiment, and it is always good to see you around here whenever you appear. I hope you've been away from SG for fun reasons and not that you're working yourself to the bone.
I'm beginning to see a pattern.
April-May: Optimism.
Summer: Desire to do new things, intermittent frustration and depression at idleness.
Fall: Chugging along interspersed with anxiety.
December: The Pits.
January: Resolve to do better.
February-March: Overdrive, gritting teeth.

The pits? Oh no! See you in '11, Squinty.
