So, I was having lunch with a couple of former co-workers and we were discussing a new venture they were involved in. They were gauging my interest in this project of theirs and we were talking about the possibility of getting me involved over some nice Asian cuisine (I had the beef with Szechwan Peppercorn Sauce and brown rice).
After lunch they always send fortune cookies over to the table with the check. I got a kick out of my fortune:
Your ability to find the silly in the serious will take you far!

And it’s funny how enough of it passing can give you perspective and balance.
So, I attended my 20 Year High School Reunion last night. In fact, I was part of the planning committee that made it all happen. It was a really nice time. It was good to see some old friends, but even better was connecting with people who, even though we spent high school together (and sometimes junior high and elementary school), I never really knew at all.
There were a few people who didn’t make it that I really wished had. People that were good friends at one time, that I have lost touch with over all these years. I hope to connect with them through some other friends who did show up and keep in touch with them.
So, it just goes to show…20 years down the road we all, for the most part, seem to be a lot more comfortable in our skin and quite a bit more secure in who we are. There’s a lesson here…and a song…

The past few weeks have been a whirlwind. Working through nights or late into the night has become far too common. I’m really burning out. I am taking this weekend to decompress and gear up for some music next week. I have a drummer friend of mine coming by to lay down some tracks for some of my tunes. That will be a pleasant change from all this coding and clients who think they know what they want until you give it to them.
On a positive note, I am making progress on a business venture that I will be able to reveal shortly. I’m quite excited about it and really enjoy the guys I’m working with on this. It could very well be my full-time gig in a way that still leaves me the opportunity to just focus on writing. Plus, these guys are so very respectful of the fact that I want to do music. A rare opportunity indeed.
Oh, and wish me luck. I’m going to my high school reunion tomorrow night. Nostalgia is a dangerous thing for me. Like a moth to a flame I am drawn to the past.
