Status Updates for 5/1/2026

Welcome to May!

May you have a wonderful Beltane if you celebrate. If not I will hoist a drink to you on Cinco De Mayo. I don’t either celebrate but there will be good food and drinks so I’ll be there.

Seems like a good time to remind people about the continued cycle of beginnings. You wake, you rise, you begin, you rest, and start the whole thing over again. It’s a beautiful thing. No matter what stumbling blocks you hit you always get the chance to begin again.

May is “the rise” portion of the cycle. Here up north I’ll be planting in the garden again soon.

Artistically I am always starting over. May used to be when I started convention prep. This year I’m only planning to go to the show and say hello to friends.

The Comics:

If it’s not nailed down they will take it. If it is nailed down they will put their name on it.

Life on earth can be dangerous for a Sluggo. Best to get the most recent guidebook that you can find

Everything seems to break at the same time and it sucks.

I love how that rabbit turned out

What I’m Reading/Doing:

I’m about halfway through The Kaiju Preservation Society. I’m really enjoying it. It’s been my bedtime book and I read a chapter a night.

I’m also listening to Old Man’s War so I guess I’m a little heavy on John Scalzi books lately.

We’re replacing the washer and dryer this week. I was going to have the washer fixed and the dryer replaced but suddenly the washer started running on it’s own.
