I've just been "doing life" at full-steam without much time for reflection.
New domicile, new job, new certification, new everything. I went back to school for some classes. I've expanded my skill set to include Teaching English as New Language.
What hasn't changed?
I am still fermenting things. I made an excellent batch of dill pickles. Kombucha is never in short supply.
I brewed my first lager and it...is...heavenly.
I brewed my first mead (it was way too sweet).
I began working for the CNYMS (Central New York Mycological Society) on a volunteer basis.
I also successfully began growing Enokitake mycelium.
All that hasn't changed and I will share developments pictorially at a later date.

New Interests
Politics, politics, politics. I've engrossed myself in the current election cycle. A considerable amount of my time is spent trying to keep up with the latest debates.
A Balmy December Stroll
I seized upon some of the warmest temperatures ever recorded this December and visited some folks in North Carolina. It was 75 degrees in late December. The magnolias (unfortunately) were flowering, as well as the crocuses, daffodils, and even some beings from the Fungi kingdom.
That's pretty much it. The hustle in between doesn't lend itself to pretty pictures. However, better weather is around the corner! More posts will be slowly rolling out! I've great plans for the Spring. I constructed this cedar raised-garden-bed, for example. I plan to deck it out in herbs.
