And this time I'm headed to Phoenix for a wedding, back Monday. Very happy the flight is not delayed or cancelled. Crossing fingers the flight out of Phoenix is okay.

On yet another flight. This time a one night stay in Raleigh for a wake for an old friend. He was only 58. Proves the old adage, anybody, anytime. Hug your friends when you get to see them.

Had a terrific day trip to #GenCon Saturday. Got to see some great friends, and make some wonderful new ones.

After months of family emergencies and overwhelming household obligations, I am dipping my toes back into the seas of Kraken Rider Z 3. I am both happy and terrified. Wish me luck! 🍀🐙
