Dear Spring Break,
I waited and waited for your arrival, and in the blink of an eye, you seemed to pass me by. Though the time didn't seem long enough, you gave way to many grand projects that at least received the necessary kick start to get going:

• Thinking about letterpress, papermaking, and artist book projects: academic, business, and personal. So many ideas; only 24 hours in a day to execute them all. I have been scribbling them away in the Moleskine for safe keeping (and definite later use).
• Home Improvement projects: the rental house can only give us so much leverage, and so we do the best we can. The picture above is a glimpse of the master lavatory in all its Target-with-a-touch-of-vintage glory. Maybe one day you will get the complete tour.
  
• Willy: The Other Half resided in the garage for about 6 straight days with breaks for Church and other necessities. In about 2 days he built a new frame. It's now nearly reassembled and ready for me to try out its newly acquired automatic-ness.
• Spring! Thank goodness. I am glad that the weather has made up its mind. I could no longer carry layers of clothing and reapply them as the day is long. I swear, only in AZ.
  

I must confess that I had a bit of a two week spring break: one from my own schooling and the other a break from work. All will recommence on the start of Monday. For now, all of the above will continue onward, with life's special twists to mix it up a bit I am most sure.
