The weather here in Montana has been getting nicer and nicer, and after a rainy week or two while we were in the Bitterroot, we’re back to summer temperatures here in Bridger. I’m not actually quite sure what the “normal” weather is like in this area, but this is definitely hotter than I’m used to…

I’ve been back in Stevensville this past week, and now that it’s snowing, it’s probably safe to say that the summer-in-springtime heatwave we were having in April is at an end, at least through the weekend. While it was nice to have the sunny +80˚ F weather and walk around without coats, this last week…

I’ve been in the same place for a few consecutive days, and I have to admit, it’s been kind of nice. I’m getting a little workstation re-established, and have been working on making some “finished” versions of the bird illustrations that I was working on while at Jentel last month. Lorie has been busy making…

It’s unfortunately been weeks since I’ve updated this site, so sorry about that. I feel like I’ve been this strange combination of really busy with all sorts of traveling, but also not doing anything quite interesting enough that you might want to hear about it. As far as where I am now, today finds Lorie…

My time in Washington, DC has ended, and now I find myself traveling on the opposite side of the country, in Salem, Oregon visiting family. In the meantime, though, it’s been nearly two weeks since I’ve returned from Jentel, and I’ve still hardly made a peep about what I was actually working on while I…

It’s my fourth day here in the greater Washington, DC area, and it’s been a good visit. This isn’t my first time in the nation’s capital, but I haven’t been here since then, very nearly eleven years ago now. Things haven’t really changed too much, as one might expect in a city where many of…

Well, I was in the middle of writing an update a couple of days ago when I had a program crash, so I guess I’ll get started again, although I might end up writing about something completely different, since I’m now in the Billings airport, en route to Washington, DC. There’s no free wireless access…

As we proceed toward the middle of March (or the the “ides”, I suppose, if you’re a fan of the Roman system), I’m coming up on a couple of endings. The end of my stay here at Jentel will be early next week, and though I’m excited to get back to Lorie, I’m going to…

I went on something of a side-trip yesterday, accompanying fellow Jentel residents Ryan and Joe on a little excursion to Devils Tower, a point of geologic interest located in the northeast corner of Wyoming. This is, of course, the big cylindrical rock formation that… well, it’s featured fairly prominently in a movie, I suppose. Otherwise…

I have good news, and bad news. First, the good news: this will probably be the last post you’ll see where I mention Kickstarter for a while, because our campaign concluded as the calendar rolled from February to March last night. This brings me to the bad news, however: we fell short of our goal,…
