A Long Few Weeks

   I recently started a new job. I have one complaint about it: the
   commute is way too frickin' long.

   Otherwise: it rocks. The people there don't entirely trust me, they
   think I'm a little cocky and arrogant because I can do everything they
   need me to do right out of the gate. I have to be careful of that. But
   this may be the first time in many years where I actually wake up and
   look forward to going to work. I had despaired that this could
   possibly happen, but it does seem to be happening.

   I have not entered Nirvana. But I seem to be entering "I do not hate
   my daily existence" mode. Which is a pearl beyond price if you've
   never experienced the opposite.

   The pay could be better. But that's not the most important thing. It
   never is. So long as I can guarantee security to my family, which
   always is the most important thing. Plus, I like it!

   For the next few weeks I'll probably be pretty absentee here on Dean's
   World, and only answering threads now and then. Just FYI.

   Rumor has it that Ali wants to become a regular contributor again. I
   never actually shut his account off anyway (he's a good man, I trust
   him), so that wouldn't be hard. So rather than me answering his email,
   I just ask: would you like Ali back? You tell me.
