Jackson Bentley: What attracts you personally to the desert?
T.E. Lawrence: It's clean.
-Lawrence of Arabia
Every year around this time I get the itch. The itch to ditch the city for a bit and experience the outdoors again. Now that the cold and the rains have passed (mostly) I am anxious to go out to the desert and experience the first signs of spring. So in about two weeks Heidi and I are taking Jo on her first camping trip to Death Valley one of our favorite places in the world. Some people think I'm nuts, but I find it quite invigorating wandering in the desert. I find it's a great place to go get away from everything and clean out all the mental cobwebs. This year, especially, I have felt a craving to get away and recharge. To go somewhere where there is no one to talk to, no cell reception, or any other distractions that crop up daily here. And most importantly, get a chance to see sights like this.
In other news around Dubland I managed to carve out some time yesterday and today to work on some of my own work. Mostly tidying up Dubland and working on a couple bigger personal projects. I would love to say I could have something from these projects to post on the site but that would be very ambitious at the current state of said projects. Needless to say this weekend has re-energized my creative juices and I want to keep things rolling. I am also inching closer to creating an email newsletter highlighting my latest work on the web site. I should have more details and an actual sign-up form in the coming weeks.
