Worked at home again on this beautiful day. I found myself much more lighthearted and productive than I have been in nearly a month.. A combination of getting stuff done and the upcoming change in work focus. I love working in the house and being able to see Diane and Chai .. and after 3, Gabe,  <\/span>go about their day. I can also understand how I get in the way. I’m always on the phone so I’m constantly running around to find a quiet place to work\u2026  <\/span>It’s nice though\u2026<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Today I was thinking about Mason, Tyler, Rusty and Alex who started their big adventure today backpacking around <\/span>Europe<\/span><\/st1:place>. They don’t have any particular plan, just Eurail passes and a few bucks to tide them over. They left <\/span>Boston<\/span><\/st1:place><\/st1:city> last night<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

I keep thinking about that moment when you walk out of the airport\/train station\/bus station and say to yourself ‘now what’ ? I loved doing that as a kid.. and I guess I still love doing it. You end up really learning so much about yourself and your travel companions when you are traveling that loose.. They’ll come back with stories that will scare their folks and entertain their grandkids . If you’re reading this and <\/span>Europe<\/span><\/st1:place> and have a spare bedroom, let me know and I’ll send you 4 nice kids. <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

I was thinking about my own kids a bunch today.. As I started to prepare for a strategy discussion at work, I came across on of the  <\/span>mind-map diagrams I made about my life last year.. It has everything from personal relationships to finances in it.
<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

I looked at the things I intended to do with my kids. Sometimes I have to stop and think what kid of a Dad I’ve been.. .. with all my kids.. and of course, with Sam.. it’s different. All in all I felt pretty good looking at the list.. though we never built that hovercraft, Sam.. I hope that’s OK.. It has to be<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/o:p>I love you guys.. love you Sam<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n
