A personal, but far from solo, walkabout. Back to work in 2024.I am noticing and appreciating the gifts and opportunities afforded by my decent health, good friendships, loving family, and the wonders the world has to offer. On this walkabout I have broader freedom to navigate my path, and with whom to play and bond. Already, the universe has presented systems and creations worthy of exploration.My identity includes building, creating, sharing and playing. Topics and activities may or may not include: socializing, games, mountain biking, backpacking, game design, programming, travel, sailing, reading, learning, puzzling, nesting, friendships, group culture, human condition, giving, storytelling, trail work, meditation, hosting, and puttering.I am wrestling nothing until I find an obsession. Which I might not, but I suspect that I will.
