Life is moving fast. Family is good - my son will come home from Brazil in 6 days - the first time I've seen him in two years. Work is good - I like the people I work with and like what I'm doing. If I could get this startup profitable... it'd be that much better to not worry every quarter will be my last. Work is good - another startup I'm a part of, more part time - is super fun and engaging. A great group of creative people who are doing a cool thing. Creativity is ok - I've been a little stagnant in this area for a bit, but just kicked off an audio project with a friend that should hopefully scratch an itch. Homeownership is ok - It's great and all... but sometimes things like "stabilizing and leveling basement floor slabs" becomes a project you have to do - and it's $10k and then you roll in new paint and new carpet and a few other things and that adds $5k and the next thing you know you've wiped out some savings... but in the end... the house is in better shape for it. Life is good. On balance - I am privileged, I am blessed, I am fortunate. All of the downs don't overwhelm the ups. I love all of you.
