So much to do, so little time...
Well, I've been super busy for the past 2 years with various business ventures of mine and working for others: Dev 2 Dev Portal (www.devtodev.com) Virtual Office and Information Security business The Computer Schools, (www.thecomputerschools.com) Computer training of all levels Hawke Studios (www.hawkestudios.com) photography and multimedia MaladNet Broadband Wireless ISP (www.maladnet.net) And various consulting and some public speaking work around the country...
Since the travel was too hard on the family, and the excessively long hours (90-120 hours per week) hard on them and myself, I'm opting to scrap it all, and make some major changes, and just find someone else to work for that isn't the slave driver that I am. :-)

B: Get my work hours to a more reasonable 40-60/week
C: Spend some time with the family
D: Get outdoors again, hiking, fishing, camping, etc
