My standing desk

6: 15 wake up, only this time, instead of feeding dogs, I was "Ino," and therefore, I had to ring the bell at 6:30 and strike the "HAN" at 6:45. then again at 6:52, 6:55 and 6: 57. It brought back memories of seeing Nick doing so, and Amanda, and others that wereearly influences leading me to doing so today. I made an impressive breakfast for Hogan, Ethan, Tom and myself-scrambled eggs with smoked gouda and sour-cream, chipotle-cheddar sausage and Jen's almond-flour and cheese muffins. I then spent the entire day basically "burning down" and rebuilding the network: I was all over the place moving devices and resetting factory defaults in an all out effort to make some much needed improvements. I feel good about where I am leaving things but will likely return soon to finish some additional steps. It's been a good few days but I am looking forward to being home and to seeing my cousin Friday-Monday. I was reflecting on this place last night and thinking about how lucky I am to be a part of it, to the point of being able to connect and have relationships with such interesting people of all kinds. And to be able to stay here as I have been allowed to do so freely. It's a gift and I am very grateful and fortunate. And worthy, too.
