It’s a short week this week due to Thanksgiving. The 12 plus hour days I’ve been putting in regularly for the last 3 months has made it difficult to wind down (I woke up today at 2 am, granted I think I fell asleep at 8pm).

• Lot’s of reflection on finances.  While I would love to be in a fuck you money situation, my goal is to be able to have the occasional go pound sand money.
• Tied to the above, mainly gearing up for the change in administration in January (and next 4 years).  I really can’t predict or time things but have come to the conclusion to prepare for the worst and acknowledge or reap the rewards of any successes that come up.
• My work will undergo major shifts this upcoming year. Lots of unknowns within that statement, but I work with talented, wonderful humans.
• My son is becoming more musical every day (lyrically and sonically).  He’s also discovering (and appreciating) the nuance of comedy.  I can listen to him all day (and often do).
• My wife and I have a lot to do still to focus on what’s in our control for the next year, next 5 years, next 20 years.  Lots of big decision making experiences we need to go through. We both agree on the need to simplify and reduce stress as key outcomes.
• I’ve been listening to David Gilmour’s new record. It’s lovely, and of course Steve Gadd is playing drums on it.
