Day One

Day One.  Where to start?  Why not here?  Most of my friends and family know I’m really an artist trapped in this pristinely preserved beer loving body. Since my earliest A.D.D. memories I’ve had the passion and skill to draw, paint and create. Over the years however,this passion was trumped by trepidation, avoidance, lack of focus and just plain life .  I channeled my energies to family, work (not career neccesarily), friends, college and pro sports fandom, little league, home improvement, cooking and a strange passion for craft beer.  No complaints, just the facts.  Like everyone I’ve had my share of ups and downs, regrets, yada yada, but all things being equal – I’ve had a wonderful time. I have a beautiful wife and daughter, great friends, killer back yard garden oasis and are part of a great neighborhood community.  So I’m writing this blog at fifty-something, NOT asking the grand question, “Where did it all go?”   I know where it went, and judging by my pants size I think I ate half of it.

It’s just time and I have a few things to share.   Here are some of the things I’m doing and some of the things I’ve done recently.
