Workload: Insane.

Personal: Busy.

Leading the Finance team in the potential purchase of a decommissioned firehouse, for a non-profit arts group I volunteer with. Going camping this weekend at Pachena Bay on Vancouver Island. Shooting a fireworks show on the 4th of July, and the next day leaving for a week-long Burner camp-out. Going to my 30-year high school reunion at the beginning of August. And bought tickets for our European honeymoon (Oct 3-18), and have begun planning what we want to do with our two weeks outside of Trumpistan.

Now to go finish my powerpoint delineating the costs of running a firehouse as a non-profit arts center... so I can present the data to the community tonight, and get them to buy-off on the idea and support us moving forward with it.

Yikes!

How do you feel about that? Excited? Do you still have a lot of friends from HS? I missed my 20 year and wish I had gone. I'll go to the 25, for sure.

I'm mostly going for the opportunity to ride my motorcycle to California, and to go to my friend's magic theater show.

I moved between my Sophomore and Junior years of High School from Washington to San Francisco. So the people I went to school with for most of my life had pretty much forgotten me by the time they graduated in WA, and the people in SF didn't know me really well, because I went to school on a compressed schedule and worked a full time job and played in bands when I was not actually at the school itself. The girl I went to prom with died many years ago, and the people I played music with have largely moved away from SF, which has become far-to-expensive-for-artist's.

But... 30 years, man! If yer gonna go to one, might as well be a significant one, right?

And my classmates include the bass player for Jane's Addiction, the pilot of Space X's Dragon spacecraft, and Tupac. (Not expecting Tupac to show up, tho.)

So there will definitely be interesting conversations to be had.
