Awakening from the slumber, slowly

in personal

Metroknow, the site, has been dormant.

Time to wake up.

A lot has changed in the last couple of months, mostly for the better. For one thing, we are finally out of the winter/spring gloom and into the glorious summer – and this year it was indeed a long time in coming. Jonah is out of school for the summer, although he does have a few weeks of school time later in their summer program.

Rima is nearly running these days, and loves being chased, playing with her brother, and eating just about anything she can pick up and stick in her mouth before we can get to her.

If I may pause for a moment, I must say…..WOW I am rusty at this whole Metroknow blog thing.

As for me, some big changes. I quit my job after much deliberation, and although there is a tremendous sense of relief on many levels, I’m also feeling the pressure of really making my personal projects grow some legs. My biggest project of course is Almost Fit, which is going great, but it hasn’t hit it’s stride yet. I am still struggling to find a consistent voice there, as well as the continuous search for broadening the audience. I have a couple of other projects planned, but first and foremost we’re going to be taking a much needed family vacation. With fuel prices and with me, well, essentially taking the summer off, we are going to keep costs down this year and camp at Umpqua’s Last Resort in Southern Oregon.

April is well – We spent much of today reclaiming the garage space as her studio, which is a step in the right direction. It had devolved into our giant Junk Drawer, obstructing her easel, and generally wearing a hole in our consciousness. We fixed that today, with more repairs on the way.

As lame as this post is, I’m going to stop there, hit Submit, and call it good. I will be breathing life back into Metroknow over the coming months, so if you are inclined, stop by and say hello.

More soon.
