Toting Aeon
I know, I know. It’s like I threw a big party, then took a couple of weeks off. But really, I’ve been keeping very busy.
In the meantime, here: This is the article appearing in the local arts and culture weekly:

Earthquake damage.
An odd and exciting week comes to a close. The plan was to begin finishing the spars this weekend, but Irene put a damper on that. Still, as far as disasters go, we came out very well.
Extracting Aeon
Wow. This is turning into quite a week.
The boats came out on Sunday. Now the first hurricane of the season is headed this way. This week we’re closing down the company where I have worked for over 20 years. I’ve had to beg, borrow and steal time for 2 1/2 years to work on these boats; now starting Friday I’ll have all the time I need. Bizarrely, the largest earthquake I’ve every experienced, 5.9, felt all up and down the East Coast, struck only moments ago as I write this. It was centered right here in the little town of Mineral. Funny how turning points and transitions can ripple out through a life. Weird.
It’s done. The boats are out of the basement. A great evening, good friends, good food.
Sent by phone from the backyard. More soon
