We got up before 7, got some early morning sun, and walked the dogs for the first time in some time... with reasonable success. Lucky can be…. challenging. He was good. I want to return to routine walks for all of our sakes. I went to Dom's production shop and enjoyed the tour and process of producing logo items for many Bay Area institutions. It's a unique and clearly demanding business. The details, workflow, precision… wow. These are just incredible innovations. He's been doing it for 40 years! Talk about witnessing the changes in technology. Take a look at manufacturing and production equipment. I have some ideas of solutions for his technical challenges to think through further. Jen talked to Dao at Intel and has some additional conversations to have before likely returning as a contractor. The timing is yet another fantastic opportunity falling just after a step into nowhere was taken. It'll afford (pun intended) us to stabilize while we both work towards peripheral goals in parallel and during her off hours. I'll be a house-husband (cut to a clip from Queen's "I Want To Break Free" video). I pulled together all the docs and details for Tommy's passport application appointment tomorrow, and I will see how it plays out. I already told him to double-check all the requirements and ensure he's got all he needs, but we will see… hopefully, he got the cashier's check, but again, we will see. I'm trying not to rescue but to show how forethought and anticipation reduce risks. It's just what I do, not what he does, and that's a hard sell. Oh, he just arrived, and no, he did not get the cashier's check. So my fallback is a personal check - assuming our shared last name and shared DL Addresses will suffice for the check to be accepted. We will see. I had a great call with a place called HomeIntel that does metrics and analysis on power usage, something we need to better manage with PGE costs—another excellent example of detail, data and evolution of a business/industry. I have to find a volt measure. I connected with deepbow.org to discuss ways I can participate in their initiatives. I'm hoping to write and be an onsite presence at future symposiums. It's an area of great interest to explore further and participate in. I haven't been writing so much this week since returning from Catalina, as I've been finding myself unmotivated or distracted. That happens. I try to catch up later, and of course, by then, I've forgotten the myriad of other minor and significant moments in between.
