It always amazes me how one evening can change ones perception of life in general. This has happened to me a couple times in the last few years. It happened again this weekend. I went from being real stressed about a whole bunch of stuff, both good and bad, to just being calm and cool with the world around me. It feels great. I feel better about myself as a whole than I have in almost 2 years. Ahhhh.. For what ever reason that short piece of time snapped me back into focus.

So, work is going great now. I am getting very comfortable with my new level of responsibility. I look forward to the challenge of bringing this device to life. When it works (not if) it will help a lot of people. So that’s the motivation from here on out. No more petty shit getting in the way, no more ego battles, no more pissing matches, no more large scale corporate political bullshit. I intend to make the most of this and more. Ahhhhh (again)

This weekend I’m heading into Pittsburgh to visit college friends and lifelong friends. Should be a good time. Loki has a date with a really neat kennel that I found up here. For the first time he will be able to run around with a bunch of other dogs while off the leash. He may never want to come home ;)

There is a slight possibility that I will be in NYC next week on business. Could be dangerous ;p My boss likes to do the nightlife thing. The only bad news I’ve received is that I will be in Maine for New Year’s Eve. I also will not be home for Christmas this year. I have to work the day after and I really can’t do the drive thing this much. Too many miles the last few months. Anything over 2 hours is off limits :) So, it looks like my first X-mas on my lonesome. I have invites from a friend to join her family in Pittsburgh. I may just take her up on the offer. Could be fun.

Anywho, time for football and some off hour work. Ahhhhh (yet again)
