2024 in Review

Although my completion rate of 33% is the worst to date, 2024 was always about one goal: walking my daughter down the aisle. With that monumental accomplishment in the rearview mirror, we can focus a little bit more on ourselves in 2025. Happy New Year.

#5 Done

#5: Create my own MU Pearl Jam poster from ’92 Pearl Jam graphic art posters were not yet a thing back in ’92 when I first saw them at Marquette, so I’ve always wanted to commission one from an artist. However, over the last year, I have become proficient in all things AI, so I finally took on the project myself. Should fit in…
