What a Year.
Well, Travis,
you made it another year. Congrats.
Much triumph, many gains, but also loss. I dedicate my reflection to my Uncle Frank, a person who truly lived without the intention of dying. I, unfortunately, lost him in August to pancreatic cancer. I had a hard time coping with that, but losing him opened me up to so much in my life.
Where do I start.
The first half of my year, I saw much...

So I’ve decided after today, I’ll go vegetarian for the rest of my winter break (until January 17th). No meat, no fried...

I want some more Pacific art.
