You were new on the scene

On the iPod "Middle School Frown" - Josh Rouse

So, as you’ve no doubt gathered from the previous post, I’m now working in advertising. It’s been surreal so far. Everything is different than what I’m used to, but I see oodles of opportunity here. Admittedly, my creativity was stifled in journalism on more than one occasion.

And while I see plenty of avenues that might do the same thing in this new field, there is no shortage of encouragement to think outside the box, to dream big and to crack my knuckles and do some good hard work. So far, it has been satisfying.

I’m not doing any programming of the sites I’m working on, but I do have some say in the types of content that are being developed. I’ll share some of the work as it is produced.

So far, the people have been fun and I’m really looking forward to getting into full swing on some of the projects I’m working on.

On a personal level, things are going well. The finance is home and is just a few days away from taking her initial board exams. I’m very proud of her. I’ll also be happy when she has them behind her and we can go back to some sort of brief sense of normalcy before she begins her rotations in the fall.

We’ll be taking a little break and heading down to Indianapolis to the Brickyard for a Formula 1 race next Thursday. I’m looking forward to getting out of the state and getting some camping in.

I also have a lot of philosophical thought to espouse and a few critiques to deliver. Give me a little time, I’m getting settled.

Thanks for hanging in there with me. I’m feeling much happier and healthier since I made this move. I’ll be back to full strength soon.

Namaste.
