Howdy, folks!

This has been a bit of a "downtime" year for me. Due to a number of financial issues as a result of a failed relationship, the dragon hasn't had much opportunity to get out and about and have fun. There hasn't been the money to attend conventions, nor the money to work on the new suit I have been planning on making. I hope to have things much more in order by the end of the year, and hope to change all of that. I *will* be attending at least one convention next year, and hopefully more... and if I can swing it, I'm going to get more done on the new suit I've been planning.

Another interesting tidbit (well, maybe to some) is that I'm no longer "Brad" for my characters. I've changed my name to "Drake" (oh HOW original XD) and that will be my standard moniker from now on. The "Brad" name is going to be dropped completely for numerous reasons and is going to be a writ of history. I could go on for hours as to the reasons why, but the most important reason is that the name no longer holds weight for me. Thus, this is the result.

For some positive news... this weekend, the dragon will be making an appearance at a somewhat local picnic and getting out once again. He's been languishing in his tote box for far too long, and the siren's call has been getting far too loud. Time to follow that noise and see what happens!... hopefully something more positive than what happened to sailors before Odysseus' journey! :)

Anyways, I hope things have been going well for all of you, and I hope y'all have a great day! Be well, y'all!
