The glittering lights of Roanoke, Virginia greeted me around midnight as I glanced out my plane window on March 24th, 2022. Earlier that day, my first long-term sojourn away from the Pacific Northwest accelerated with the roar of a jumbo-jet as I lifted off the Spokane airport runway and headed to a whole new set of projects, adventures, and memories on the eastern end of the North American continent.

I'm going to try using this platform to try and capture my most meaningful memories, impressions, and personal reflections for the benefit of myself and Heather, friends, family, and--most of all--little Owen, Little Jolly Roundface, our Little Bubba.
Hopefully he can look back on these pages and catch more than just glimpses into this latest chapter in my life's book. And speaking of book, I hope these posts add some fodder for a memoir of my own someday.
