It's been a fantastic, mild winter that has carried over into spring 'round these parts. But I didn't enjoy it as much as I ordinarily would have. Late January saw me spiral into one of the worst depressions of my life. I've battled mental illness to a draw over the decades but this was very hard to overcome. I was lackadaisical and even entertained thoughts of suicide. Crazy, because I have a great life with The Bride and our two pups. Having the Detroit Lions come within 309 minutes of a first-ever Super Bowl didn't help, when the clock struck midnight on their Cinderella story. I know it's nuts to have this reaction over a sports team but there you go. At any rate, things have started to turn the corner and hopefully, I'll be back to my old self.

I've been busy updating the team jersey artwork on my two sites and now I've started a new project over on Scoreart -- adding scoreboard art to games I didn't attend, but wish I had, going back to my childhood. The first installment includes the six games of the 1962 Stanley Cup final when my (at the time) beloved Toronto Maple Leafs beat Chicago. You'll eventually find these and future artworks by clicking on "bonus" on the index page.
