It's Been Way Too Long
I spend more time reading other people's blogs and websites than I do managing mine, so I'm going to try to be better at keeping ya'll up to date!
It is my favorite kind of day today. Fall, blue sky, beautiful leaves, damp air...It seems like a lot of people I know are getting that antsy, uncomfortable fall lock-down feeling. For me, the season is winding down (not without a ton of "fall clean-ups" and hopefully a couple nice installations), and the onset of long, dark, cold days is upon Superwonderful. If you don't live in Portland, it is hard to comprehend the lack of light for 5 months but it happens and along with the disappearance of the light goes my motivation. It truly is like hibernation. So, Superwonderful is going into it's chrysalis and it will emerge a bigger, more vibrant being. Once inside this dark chamber of transformation (the office), it will work diligently to make a new being that will be unrecognizable from it's previous state.
For now, I am working on some really cool designs, one for a 1905 farmhouse in SE Portland and one contemporary design in Lake Oswego. I am working with a CAD program instead of hand drafting which I am really having fun with. I am also getting as much bike riding in as possible before the rains come. Semi-serious cyclocross races, and even goofing off at the Rapha Roller Race.
