Chief Explorer

A few years ago “PC” (that’s pre-COVID) we went on a Road Trip through New England and up into the Canadian province of Quebec. It was a fantastic trip. We spent a few days in Montreal and June had done her research (as usual) which led to us searching out a bookshop called Drawn & Quarterly. This little jewel in a suburb on a non-descript backstreet was filled with comic books. I browsed for a while and then picked up a couple of beautiful books. The limitation of being across the Atlantic from the UK, was the fact that I had a limit to luggage on the airplane otherwise I would have come out with a pile of books. 

I haven’t written here since last September because I have been preoccupied with the not insignificant task of figuring out how to semi-retire as well as I could and to begin to define what the new role of Chief Explorer is all about. There was a lot of the work involved in this that didn’t lend itself to “working out loud”, but I have been capturing the process as it evolved and will be sharing more about the year-long experimental process that led to me stepping back as founder to become the Chief Explorer.
