So work was slowing down, family and Christmas festivities were over, and I had this chance to go to France and not pay for lodging.

So I went.

And I got this blog up in a day with the help of my friend Richard as a way to keep in touch with friends.

Like all good things, France came to an end (well, France is still going strong, but my time there came to an end…). Work remained slow so we parted ways (it was time) and I had this Wordpress site which was kind of fun to write…. “How long can I take for recuperation from 70-hrs-a-week at the computer”, I wondered? “Plus some thinking, cooking, and what’s-nexting?”

I named my blog, giving myself a year to find a right fit rather than just a job, and that pretty much brings us up to date.
