It’s nice to be home. Leigh is off doing her wedding stuff, so she’s been busy and wild getting ready for Saturday night.

It’s nice to see her glowing back here, back home and comfortable with friends and family. It’s especially nice to be with mom and dad-albeit busy as hell-working away in their living room. We’re but a couple pages shy of “being done” with that October issue, so, you know, kinda excited.

Special thanks to Goo and Leah back in Portland. Here’s why: For keeping Gary alive. I miss you little man, I’ll be back soon. Stay long.
