It has been way, way too long since I have written. The kids are all asleep; the presents are somewhat cleaned up; and I thought I’d wish you all a happy holiday.
More soon.
Health, Happiness, and Peace,

A quick shot from my morning walk.

Incredible, incredible morning on the lake today. The wind was from the North at about 15 knots. North wind can be tricky because of the chop it generates (although around here because of the angle of our beach, a Northwest wind is worse), and this morning there were 2-3 foot waves breaking which made launching [...]

Wow. Look is what is on the other side of that path.

I’m on a flight from Dallas to Chicago — the flight was delayed, then we got re-routed, then the pilot announced that the air conditioning doesn’t work, then subsequently mentioned that the air is out because of an air purifier malfunction, which is also forcing us to fly 10,000 feet lower than normal so that [...]

I came home tonight to the incredible sight of the sun meeting the water outside of my front door. Everything in my little [...]

I haven’t written in a while so I thought I’d add a quick entry. I’ve been getting back onto the lake as the water gets warmer (relative statement — it is about 45 degrees now, although the air is much warmer). I cannot believe how rusty I am. My hands are so sore after a [...]

I’m back from a few days on the road to points west — a project meeting for one of our key clients and a visit to load-in of a big product launch we did this week. So I’m here in the office at my big desk catching up on email and basically scooting around on [...]

I am here working late on a variety of things that seemed incredibly important when I started them — and that now cannot hold my attention. I have found myself drifting to various things to distract me: Running to get a diet Coke; leafing through a magazine at my giant desk; looking at IM for [...]
