Its finally over. My 6+ months of sleeping, surfing, kayaking, running, biking, fishing, hiking, cooking, eating and drinking is now over. Tommorrow, I will officially accept an offer for Worldwide Marketing Manager for Encad, a subsidiery of Kodak here in San Diego. I'll also start tommorrow sitting thru 2.5 full days of meetings. My days of Product Management like at Phogenix are over with me returning to more Business Development like at HP. So I'll be busting out my passport again and maybe coming to a town near you very soon. Thanks to all my friends who offered great support throughout this time. Special thanks to Tony & Mona Keeler who constantly offered their house as a temporary residence. I easily had the most fun and relaxing summer ever. Hosting and visiting all my friends made this time off extremely memorable. I went to 4 weddings and visited Italy, Minneapolis, Wisconsin, Virginia, Penn, DC, Portland, Tahoe, Yosemite, Fresno, Napa, Sonoma, SF, Sacramento, Walnut Creek, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Sedona, OC, ... The blog will continue. It'll hopefully be more exciting now. Finally, don't underappreciate your job or underestimate the weakness of this job market.

Happy belated XXth birthday to Tony Baldini yesterday. He's old ..... school.
