Distracted

It has been a whirlwind of a few weeks and i am in a clouded head space.

I may go silent again for awhile, as i have taken on the task of administrating and updating a site for my cousin Marc who was recently diagnosed with advanced non-hogkins lymphoma.  For any interested, the site is here: http://rallyformarc.blogspot.com/  Then, again... it might make my posting all the more prolific.

I flew up to San Francisco, unexpectedly, on Wednesday night. When i got the phone call on Wednesday morning about how advanced the cancer was i got right to work on Southwest.com getting the last flight out for the night.

Even under unfortunate circumstances, it was great to see Marc and family, great to see and smell and feel the Bay.  I miss both on a regular basis. Plus i have some great local business to five-star-review on yelp both for their great food and service, and for their kindness towards my aunt who will be in SF helping Marc in his battle.

I was unable to visit anyone while i was up there, which is sad, but it wasn't exactly that kind of a trip. Chances are good that i will be up within the next month for some more of his treatments and perhaps at that time i can meet some of you bay-area-hooligans at a communal table for a night of breaking bread and catching up.

I have all of these work options popping up for me left and right, when all i want to do is rest and create and hang out with people i care about.

Sam and i have gotten our new room closer to being a functional rest/work space. It's our place for sleep and rest and prayer and... stuff.  It's also my home office since i am doing more working from home "consulting" type stuff and also got a big flat workspace for art... which has been a storage space for all things that don't have a home yet. That ends tonight... so that there is more space to live and create!

I have been cooking more of late, and some pretty tasty stuff too. I might post my mad-scientist recipes up soon... since it has been the only outlet of creativity and this is, after all, my gallery space for such things.

I'll be getting back to returning phone calls and emails and such soon... meanwhile, thanks for sharing a few moments with me here.
