It's your life, you don't know how long it's going to be but you know it's got a bad ending

That's a quote from Mad Men. Not sure why it inspired me...

I can't believe its been 16 months since I wrote in here. Wow, life is flying by.

Max started medication for ADHD in September and he is now getting straight A's and is doing almost all homework by himself. He is reading to learn...he even researched the Internet by himself to find out how to download music to his Ipod. He said I went to YouTube, found the song, right-clicked and copy URL and then paste it into this other website and it sends you the file. He loves to figure out how things work.

Reid is awesome too. He is growing up so fast and seems like a little man now.

Tamara just got word from her likely boss to be that they want her in DC for a VIP position. Wow, I'm proud. And it is exciting on one hand with a new place to see, but scary on the other hand, mainly because its a big metro and also because the places I want to live are the most expensive counties in the country. How did this happen? I'm reminded once again of 'Once In A Lifetime'... the Talking Heads were so prescient.

So what else is going on? Men's group keeps me honest and faithful and hopeful. It has taken a more metaphysical turn with some recent additions. One young philosophy major and then two guys new with strange stories to tell. Tonight one described a mystical experience in a dream. The other says he came from a cult.

Work is going world-wide for me so there will be more challenges ahead. AU is gearing up. EU is ready to make a big decision. I'm about to ride a gravy train into the sunset related to work. I almost quit after year 1, but 5+ years into it and things are really shaping up.
