We had an unseasonably warm late March and early April which has spring-boarded into an unseasonably cool April. Overnight temperatures have dipped into the low 20s.
My Mom and Dad have ducked this bad weather by living in Sun City Arizona. Here is a picture of an evening outdoor community concert they recently attended.
In 1983 I graduated from the Ringling SchooI of Art, in Sarasota, Fl. I got married to Linda in 1997 and we had our first child, Aaron, in 2001. We had our second child, Jennifer, in 2003. I bike ride less since I started having kids. In 1989 I was run over by a teenage driver while bike riding. I was thrown 12 feet and received a compressed third thoracic vertebra and recovered. I don't boldly claim my right of way around cars like I used to. I bike ride defensively now. Rails-to-trials bike paths go real well with me also. When I worked at an ad agency in the mid to late 1990's, I worked on a lot of brochures for Thompson Publishing. I loved some of the book cover designs they used and I knew I would love to design book covers some day. In recent years, self-published authors have been coming to me to design their book covers for print and ePub. So the book cover design part of my business has been growing. I work at home. The parlor by the front entrance of my house is my design studio. I enjoy solving design problems for my customers.
