I've been up in Seattle for a large internal conference. It was really my first "on stage" since I started at large software company. I was sorta nervous. But in the end, I never rehearsed. This stuff is either in me or it's not. I had so much fun. I really did. I actually felt a bit of my old confidence creeping in. Welcome back.

I'm listening to Nina Simone and it couldn't be just more perfect. The stability is starting to come back.

Today has been my day to cut back and let loose... so I did. In style. We started with Mimosas over traditional Mexican breakfast, followed by beers at the bowling alley.. and ending with wine and cheese. Tomorrow... back to work.
