Thanks to everyone who's left a nice b-day comment. Not up to much today, other than a really nice bottle of Cabernet that I've been saving for a couple of years. It's 70 deg. outside, so I might go swimming with my daughters later this afternoon. Sometimes life treats you ok. I'm just waiting for the other shoe to fall...

Back to reality tomorrow, but...

God help me, I LOVE Morningwood. I will see them this Monday in SLC at the lo fi cafe (a really cool venue) with a bunch of my friends as a last hurrah before we move to Palm Springs.

My daughters are really excited to move someplace they can swim every day, and my wife is excited to be appreciated and paid appropriately for her abilities.

Fuck Utah and it's patriarchal,...

Vegas was a bust. I'm not cut out for corporate life--I may as well have been working for Micro$oft, except our product was design, not software.

So I put my tail between my legs and came home. Palm Springs may happen next spring, and I have an offer from a small firm in San Diego--but I want to keep going on my own, and not...

Vegas till October, then Palm Springs.
