I don’t know what it means to take a breath. It’s something I’m learning I need to do more often. A lot of family and friends are calling me to ask whats up. And, I’m realizing, I don’t talk to the people that live near me as much as I should – they have email, alas. There is some sort of bell curve shape to communication, with frequency and length of communication as variables. I’d draw a nice chart, If I had enough time. :)

So let’s recap and take a breath. January, I got engaged, to this really amazing woman. July, I married her. July 14th, I started a new job. The end of July we went to Hawaii. The middle of August I went to SF. September is already over and I feel like I’ve done nothing but glue my behind in a chair. October 4th I move into a new apartment (in Canton). The middle of October I leave for company business in another state. It’s good to be busy, but I’ve been far too busy.

After then, for everyone that I’ve been out of touch with, I promise we’ll spend more time together.

• I’m now on a plane headed for the pacific rim. You will not see me or hear from me for 6 days.
• Dean blogs!
• Stefan Sagmeister is my hero. His TED talk was great. His book “Things I have learned in my so far,” is amazing. Here’s an article about him.
• I got married. It was the happiest day of my life. Pictures are forthcoming.
• I got a new job. I’m extremely honored. I’ll explain more, when I’m not busy sipping coconut juice and eating fresh pineapple while the natives give me hot stone massages.
• Draplin vs. USA I can’t explain how close I feel to these words. I mutter this stuff every day.

And she couldn’t be more beautiful, smart, and loving…

Thank you all for your support and love. It’s going to be one wonderful day!

This also means I’ll probably be off the radar for quite a while. See you then…

I get to marry her, in 44 days approximately. :)

I think I rock the morning look quite well?

And the nephew, he’s much bigger now. And, even cuter!
