Weekend in Dallas

Just got back from a weekend in Dallas, where we celebrated my Mom's 65th birthday. It was a nice celebration with my brother and his wife and kids. The other amazing thing is that my Mom at 65 is starting a business. A friend of mine and my mom have applied for a patent for a medical garment that they invented together. It's pretty amazing that at 65 my mom is a patent applicant and the director of a corporation. I'm helping them with marketing their business. It's fun. Just goes to show you, you can reinvent yourself at any age.

While in Dallas, we ate at Salum on Cole street. It was delicious and the restaurant was teeming with Dallasites, all dressed up for Saturday dinner. It's been a long time since I've been to a restaurant where people actually dress up for dinner. I've missed that.

Quick Update

Hello! I can't believe so much time has passed since my last post. Basically, I received a job offer for a great job, but in Chicago... not San Diego. And I accepted the offer. I have since found a place to live, moved all of my worldly possessions, found a renter for my place in San Diego and have started my new job and life in Chicago. Everything is fantastic. I really, love my job. I've never said that before and meant it as much as I do in this instance.

It's a start up company with a great opportunity. Every employee is on the same page when it comes to focus and mission. It's not like starting at a company that is five or 10 years old and some people are burnt out and bitter and negative. It's great. And I'm working on projects that are so exciting. Like building a brand and logos and marketing plans. I am truly reinvigorated and inspired right now.

I'll write more. The delay was that I just got internet set up at home this past Saturday. Could I have moved more slowly. Don't think so. More to come!
