In 2000 with nothing more productive to do (living in a new house, in a new State) I decided to design apricotpie. So that's my claim to fame -- I'm the founder of this Website!
Right now I tell people who ask that "I'm in transition." It is true. I know I have left something behind. That is, I know that my days working and studying at Thomas More College are over. It seems clear to me that many of my ambitions and even some of my ideas are also being left behind. But I don't really know where I am going. Usually transitions come FROM somewhere and go TO somewhere else. I'm not there yet. I'm in transit.
Being "in transit" is really cool. It is also an uneasy place to be. This winter I am working part-time at a Web development and design firm just outside Cambridge and Boston. I'm also taking a graphic design course called "Drawing for Communication."
