Coming back to the studio was like slipping into a warm coat on a wintery day, fresh from the dryer.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I came in to find Sarah, Joseph and Renn gathered round doing their various duties and chatting animatedly. Sarah commented that the studio ran remarkably smooth in my absence; everyone knows their duty and when to show up. That was nice to hear.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I have doven in headfirst. I have 74 emails in my inbox (after clearing out the detritus), which is a super-high amount. I plan on having that cleared out by tomorrow. I am prioritizing inquiries<\/em>. Getting new projects set up is the top issue, so by all means don’t hold off on that.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I repeat: don’t hold off just because I am on my heels. This will all be caught up by tomorrow afternoon.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

For those interested in details, we arrived in Salt Lake City this morning at about 1am. We had hoped to arrive before midnight, but made a wrong turn earlier in the Oregon outback. In the past I joked about White City being the armpit of Oregon<\/em>, but now I have been to Aber, the Anus of Oregon<\/em>. I’ll be suing the county for the cost of grief counselling on account of having failed to properly warned travellers away.<\/div>\n

“Joked” is the key word here. All of these places, of course, have their own beauty. So, chuckle (knowingly if you live there) which is the appropriate response to my regional ribbing.<\/div>\n

Note: Denio, does not have a gas station any more. So be careful to have enough gas to get from Winnemucca to Lakeview or vice versa. We were lucky, but I would hazard to say other travellers have been caught there.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

To be home, and take a nap on my beloved couch, catch up on some Daily Show, eat a hot breakfast, and take a hot shower (in a bathroom rife with micro-civilizations grown from my own body’s flakage) is like slipping into a familiar coccoon.<\/div>\n

I found the studio in good order this afternoon. Everything billed, lined up and projects ready to go.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
