I got to watch Lupini for almost two weeks while Jean and Molly were in New Zealand (not jealous at all).

I rang in the New Year with Caroline and Scott. We went to St Pete Beach, a place I really love. And where I was born!

Me during Autumn.

This year I got really into making music. I was tired of having to plug and unplug equipment every time I wanted to play. This is a patch bay, which cleanly connects all of my gear’s inputs and outputs in one place (the back of the patch bay) so that I can sit down and play with as little friction as possible. Additionally I can route signals from one piece of equipment for another to, for instance, add effects (the front of the patch bay). The patch bay is mounted in a rack case that sits on my desk so it’s easily accessible.

The start of something new.

More from Price and Sydney’s trip to NYC for my birthday. We were at Brooklyn Bridge Park.

Price and Sydney visited me in NYC for my birthday. This was taken on Governor’s Island.

Down the Hudson River.

This is my friend Todd. He and I work together but we live in different places. This was the first time we met in person after a year of Google Meet being our only source of interaction. We walked around the waterfront in Milwaukee, where I was visiting the Smiths for a few weeks.
