It's been a while, hasn't it...

A couple of years have come and gone since I last left some thoughts here on the Lair...

And a very interesting couple of years it has been...

1. Mainly, important decisions concerning the big picture have been undertaken... life changing ones and all for the better. When I am free to spill the beans, it will be a huge load off my chest.

2. MacKinnon Dax Parker and his big sister, Danica, are consuming more of my time, both in the good times and the bad. But in the end, this father thing is working out so far. Been the toughest thing that I have ever done. And having a son who loves his dad's love of motorcycling is pretty cool! I think I may have a fellow rider in the future. That would be a blast, tearing up the roads when he is old enough to ride (and only if he WANTS to).

3. Been really pouring on the extra work... making great strides in stretching my talents to bring in some really nice work. Thanks to some really fine people who have fished me this work, I can't thank them enough.

4. Some old legacy items in the brain have finally settled and are sorted through. Retrospection has helped me rethink the future and what needs to be done going forward... I have learned a lot about myself, especially these last 6 months. And I thank some key friends who have helped sort out these areas. They know who they are. And here is to some new ones.

5. Finally, I think that I need to spend more time here in the coming weeks, to share some thoughts and ideas about life, the big picture and even the small things, stuff like when it makes my day to see my son walking past me in the hall and does a big circle wave with one arm and says "Hello Dad-da!". From a two year old, no less.

Well, paying jobs require my full attention. Until next time....
