Since my last post, I've been caught in a whirlwind of travel, adventures, and organized chaos. I've seen the Book of Mormon, traipsed all over Santa Monica and Hollywood, been waylaid by snowstorms and freezing rain in DC, Richmond, and Houston, went shooting at an outdoor range, experienced an excruciating corneal abrasion, and did a lap up the California coast around old Bay Area haunts to celebrate the end of an era. It's been a crazy month with no real time to update, but I have logged considerable hours for the project, especially on the trip.
On the corneal abrasion note... don't get one, they're an especially terrible misery. Long story short, my hard contact lens cracked and developed a hole while on my eye and scraped the hell out of my cornea before I was able to get to the optometrist for treatment. It's like having sandpaper for an eyelid until the epithelial cells regenerate and I was incredibly sensitive to light. Even a full week later, my vision in that eye is still blurrier than usual.
In any case, when I get a chance to review the trip photos more thoroughly, I'll post those. In the meantime, a smattering of iPhone-based photos from various treks.
