Hello.

Sorry for the silence again, but I finally got caught up reading some of the more recent posts. Sounds like everyone is doing alright in their endeavors.

I got a new addition this past week. I got inked at a studio in Chicago, and I am pleased. The idea is a bonsai tree that I can fill in as time goes on: a new blossom/leaves for a milestone in my life such as turning a certain age, a promotion, getting hitched, having a kid, etc. On the flipside – a dead or wilting leave on the ground for each tragedy in my life: someone dying and the sort.

It’s on the back of my left calf; I’d say that the rumors of pain are exaggerated, but maybe it’s because I got it on a place that isn’t traditionally too unbearable.
