This is the first time I&#8217;ve done this since I&#8217;ve started working with Scott and the crew at RP.  It was an overwhelming period of my life.  Lots of social dynamics were fluid in a way that they have not been before.  I had recently had my bicycle stolen and my 36th birthday.  I invited people who I love to our space on Orcas and think that they were only there out of a sense of social obligation.  I spent a good deal of time thinking about my influence and impact on the world.  I spent time contemplating how I&#8217;ve never lived on my own and have never been ultimately responsible for my own well being.  I have always relied on others to provide the comfort that would be best coming from myself.  Self received a lot of coverage in this phase of my life.  Perahps to the point that I might <b>also<\/b> consider myself to maybe be the most self-centered person I know.  Maybe now that Leo has left us in its wake, we should get on with the regularly scheduled program.<\/p>\n<p>And so.  Planning.  I&#8217;m looking to get a studio where I can work on island.  I&#8217;m planning on moving the rack to this studio and maybe keeping it in a sound dampening, HVAC-enabled section of the space.  A workstation with a dock ready for my presence or return.  That sort of thing.  Maybe I should put up a sign that says professional services, and another sign that says &#8220;no vacancy&#8221; so that they know that I&#8217;m already working for someone else.  :-)<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=cjamescollier\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I spent a couple of weeks straight in the city.
