JOANNE: ...And over here I'll be knocking through the wall to open the kitchen into the living room. It'll be fully open, but with a retractable bar that descends from the ceiling for parties, or just for breakfast.
JOANNE: Upstairs, I'm turning the second bedroom into a fully skylit sunroom complete with floor-to-ceiling windows and a solar-heated lap pool?
GEOFF: Upstairs? Won't that be heavy?
JOANNE: I'm running new pillars up from the basement for support. Probably reclaimed barnwood.
JOANNE: And rather than park our cars tandem, I'm installing a hoist that will store the cars one atop the other. Long-term, I have plans to build a stadium-style rolling roof to protect our entire property from hailstorms.
GEOFF: Wow, Joanne, I had no idea you were so handy!
JOANNE: Oh, I've never touched a drill in my life! I just watch the crap out of the DIY channel.

The computers tell me it was 20 years ago, June 9, 2006, that I arrived in New York for my first-ever comic convention as an exhibitor, MoCCA.
It was an important trip for me, a milestone in what would go on to become my career.
I wrote a little reminiscence on Patreon (free/unlocked) — including a first-since-then reprint of the photocomics I made at the time, documenting the trip!
