Using the snow day to work on the jacket design for the first of three albums we are releasing this year.

No idea if this is any official account or someone pretending. But the sentiment is there regardless and it's very sad.

It is gotcha week for the senior trouble sausage. Ever the #spoileddog she got an extra special treat - a dried rabbit ear, her favorite.

Skin care haul to start the year. All in an effort to not age like milk.

1. Ending the year by setting things in motion for 2026. After a burnout diagnosis and a career being de-professionalized by AI, I'm ready to hang up my corporate hat. Waiting on other schools but have at least one "yes" from my alma mater to become a mental health clinician.

2. After years of tending this way, I made the conscious decision to be sober-ish. I can count on one hand how often I drink in a month, and now when I do it is to appreciate the bartender's or winemaker's artistry.

3. I made an effort this year to develop a green thumb and grow my own food. I only got one cucumber, but the plants lived all season. That's a huge improvement!

4. It takes confidence to not just solo travel, but to go out in the wilderness in a foreign area alone. Hiking the red rocks in Sedona by myself became more peaceful and reflective than I expected.

5. I've visited some of those smaller music venues as a performer, too! We pushed ourselves to perform more and succeeded. We are also releasing an album, and all the producing and editing I learned in college is coming back.

6. I made it a point to visit smaller venues and see local and regional bands. I've discovered several really good groups and look forward to more next year. Pick a show and let's go!

7. I embraced independence and got on a plane to Europe by myself (again) and spent 2 weeks traveling with strangers going deeper on my ancestry in Ireland. Forcing ourselves to do scary things and meet new people is where growth happens.

8. This group has become a second family and the festival community a second home. And it's defiance: I have profound hearing loss, wear a cochlear implant, and can still sing a cappella harmony. And get paid for it. We push each other and support each other.

9. I certainly won't be the youngest person at a music festival, but I also won't be the oldest, either. And once I am the oldest, I hope I inspire people to keep dancing and stay as young as you can.

10. Maggie is getting older and her age is catching up quickly. Heart problems, back problems, cataracts - she still wants to walk and jump as much as she used to, though.

I need to remember I have this account. Being more active here and finding digital community can be a goal.

Senior dog close-up for the algorithm.

Oh these hats are GOOD. Ready for the 2026 festival season!

Today I met a turkey. He's a senior that lives in a bird sanctuary. He likes giving hugs and is good at stealing food.

In other news, amazing music at The Evening Muse, seeing The Abstratica and Added Color. Look them up on your streaming platform of choice!

Another fall excursion to the desert. Sedona is gorgeous with so much geological history literally steps away. Hiked up and around Cathedral Rock, went off-roading in Coconino National Forest, and sampled some amazing Arizona wine!

I am RUSTY. It's been a long time, so I'm not rushing and letting myself be mediocre. The goal is to focus on simplicity and texture, aiming for something moody with controlled dissonance. I have an intro...now to decide where it goes next.

HRH got a bath and color. Now every walk is a fight to keep her from rolling in who knows what...

One small, solitary cucumber. I grew something!

My interview process at my current job was 5 days, start to finish. Not even a weekend involved. This is painfully accurate.
