Tweet 2/27/09 First of all, let me say thank you for all the congratulations, warm wishes, warnings, and announcements that I am out of my mind. Of course I’m out of my mind. What kind of a person gives up his stock options to move into a VW bus and discover what it’s like to [...]

Tweet I know this may seem odd, but I am on the road again. Don’t worry though, I haven’t abandoned new found love. Instead, this is a practicality.

Tweet 2/14/09 I make rules for myself with the best of intentions and then I usually have to break them. One example of this is about to be demonstrated. At some point, I decided that blogging about my emotional life with others was something that I didn’t want to do, I’ve broken this rule before, [...]
