Getting There
A bit later than I thought but I think perhaps we’re finally getting where we need and want to be; competence and cohesion - my team, a team once again. We got food in the fridge - it’s a silly benchmark but it’s something for the team that requires the team pulling together to make happen. Maybe now we can get through this, together. I’ve carried us through the storm; now with more oars in the water hopefully we can chart our own course to smoother waters.
Now comes the march to the finish line. Fall, the equinox, my birthday. Kids and undergrads go back to school, teachers go back to work, the hemisphere says goodbye to summer and I do something different. They move left, I go right. In the summer I pay the price, in the fall I reap the reward for being the contrary…and not just a little bit crazy for choosing this lifestyle.
A mini-break with the family or perhaps just my girlfriend, a trip to Vegas with Jon and Josh to catch some Vic Fontaine, more free time, cooler weather, and time with my family. Mr. Mom and Maid days, a slower pace; less money but more time to enjoy what you have, and what you’ve earned; trading the work To Do list for the personal one. My son’s second Christmas.
