    I'm redesigning ableparris.com. In the meantime, you can follow me on Tumblr or Twitter.

Next Steps

News moves too fast these days. I’m getting text messages, and phone calls congratulating me already.

What are they congratulating you ask? Well, I’ve just accepted an offer to be a Composition Artist at McKinney. This is great for many reasons. The first being I get to commute (and work) with my lovely wife. Secondly, McKinney is full of great folks who I will get to learn from on a daily basis.

I have a few projects that will be wrapping up over the course of the next month that I am excited to show you, but as for taking on new projects, I think it would be best that I didn’t as my time is quite precious to me. I’m sure you understand.

I will  continue making the monthly wallpapers as I have for about 18 months now, and I am working on a redesign of my site. Hopefully I’ll even get that online store that I keep talking about running!

The commute
I was thinking about it this afternoon, and realized I have not commuted more than a mile to my daily job in about eight years. I have worked at home for many of them. For others, I walked or rode my bike no more than a mile to work. In fact, I rarely leave the town I currently live in, and it’s small.

With that in mind, my most foreseeable hurdle is to get used to driving for at least an hour a day.

    Congratulations, Able! The best thing about your commute is that you get to spend an extra hour a day with your wife.

    That’s great news, Able! Thought you might also like to know that I put your “Movers and Shakers” wallpaper on my classroom computer. I find it very delightful.
