Now

Summer comes to a close much sooner here in the Hilltowns of Massachusetts. I’ve already worn the Carhartt Beth Dutton jacket a handful of mornings when taking Trixie out for her morning constitution. There are precious few days left of warm motorcycle rides.

I’m coming off of a two-month sabbatical from work, which was heavenly. Probably the best summer in the past decade or so (a close second was the late summer move from Boston to New York City in 2019). Much happened in those weeks, which has created a new avenue to explore. Something I’m keeping under wraps for now.
