Connect-I-cut

This just in: Connecticut has a growing population of headless geese.  Everyone was right, this place is a whole world away from home.

Dinner is Served

The most challenging part of my relocation was continuing to eat well, especially at dinner time.  My system, which I recommend to any travelers, is to get a frozen entree with vegetables and sauce and then add fresh vegetables and rotisserie chicken from the grocery store.  I've been pretty happy with the variety (Its only been a few days) and it only takes a few minutes to prep and a few minutes to microwave.  And best of all, I have been able to keep eating enough fiber to fuel my signature gas problem.

New Home

(This was already emailed to some people, feel free to skip)
I am currently in an extended stay hotel suite, but I just found the perfect new home.  I'll move in on March 1st.  Its a shared house with a retired farmer named Bob.  I'll have two private rooms upstairs and free run of kitchen and living room.  The house overlooks a big meadow and nearby dense woods.  Bob, being the kickass farmer that he is has a pretty sizable plot of land with two houses and a big kickass barn.  He has horses, donkeys (yes, donkeys), chickens (but they are far away from the house, thank goodness), and some sheep.  When I met Bob, he was wearing a home knit sweater underneath well worn overalls with big work boots.  I get the feeling that Bob doesn't give a hoot about anything as long as his work gets done - he must be the most laid back person in New England.   

Bon Voyage

Some of my friends came over to send me off in style. We shot these portraits in the living room in a total of about 20 to 30 minutes. To those of you who were there, I thank you again, for your company and the chance to make these portraits. To those of you who weren't there, I missed you then as I do now.

What it Takes

At first I was upset that I was covered in poison oak when I made my first trip to Connecticut to interview. Now that I think about it, this turned out to be a good strategy for my job interview. Everyone remembered me, and anyone who forgot could find evidence of my presence smeared around for the next week.
