Interlude

This is the first time I have had a chance to sit back and do nothing. I've been traveling a little, and work has been keeping me pretty busy. I've had a few speaking engagements and for the first time in a few decades, I've moved into an uncharted territory with my new career. It's kind of scary how easy it was to slide right in to a completely different line of work. Anyhow, Jon and Lulu stopped by last weekend, and we went to Harrah's. After that, I spent a lot of time getting caught up on my home paperwork -- you know, bills and stuff. Well, I've let all of my papers pile up on my desk again, but I just felt like sitting back and relaxing today. Maybe I'll join Procrastinator's Anonymous -- tomorrow. See ya.

Dude, Where's My Midlife Crisis?

I guess it was bound to happen -- I've gotten a little older, maybe a bit wiser, but not too much. It's been about six months since I decided to make a few career changes. Looking back, I think -- no, I know I've made the right decision. It hurt a lot financially, but it's given me a better outlook for the future. I had been living in such an accelerated travel mode, that I zipped right through my mid-life crisis.

Even though my new company just went through a recent acquisition, the outlook for the company seems strong. I went through this once before, and it was a downward spiral for six years before I realized how bad it was, and how miserable I had become. Now, I don't know if I'll have the same job in a year, but at least it's nice to know that I'm more than the sum of my resume. See ya.
