“My life is lived in projects,” says Jaybill McCarthy, “no one knows what I’m going to do next, least of all me.” A self-described “pair ferrets in a burlap bag”, he’s decided to document his various exploits and put them where everyone can see them.

He says he’s also accepting financial support via Patreon.

Midlife Reinvention
I turned 46 years old this year. By any definition of the term, I am squarely in “midlife”. I’m now old enough to enjoy doing crossword puzzles, but I’m still young enough to spend way too much time on TikTok. I’ve been lucky enough to do a lot of interesting things, but there’s also a ton of things I’d still like to do.
