I was out hiking with friends yesterday, enjoying what was damn near perfect weather in Marin. As we walked we caught up.
One friend is embarking on an AIDS ride in the spring and has started training for the ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles.
One friend just converted the garage from an office back to a garage, and a sleeping nook to a washer-dryer room.
One is selling a motorcycle.
One had a TV program cancelled but thanks God that it wasn't a full-time job and now has a reel to show for it.
One struggled to get funding for a startup and is now committed to bootstrapping.
One had to acknowledge that real estate sales were not going to pick up and took a second job managing a catering business at a hotel.
One experienced layoffs at a job, and then paycheck reductions for an area of the company and wonders, what will be next?
So how about you, Jory? How are things with you?
"Fine," I said. "I guess." I wondered if I was deluding myself.
