My alarm clock went off, and I dutifully swung my feet out from the covers and planted them on the floor. It’s time to fly across the country. I have not traveled for the past three weekends, and I’ve enjoyed that time off more than I would’ve predicted. I was not ready to leave home again.

It’s been good to be at home and take care of projects around the house that have been annoying me. I am landscaping my side yard to make it look cool. I’m planting shrubs along my back wall that will grow tall enough so that I don’t have to see my neighbor’s house. I’m not ready to quit the jet-set lifestyle and become a predictable homebody. But it feels right to stay at home and clean up around the house and guard the castle.

I’m on the plane now, on my flight to Raleigh, North Carolina. The captain just told us we were passing over Little Rock, Arkansas, so I’m guessing we are halfway there. All I can think about was this movie Candyce and I saw last night, “The Incredibles”. The movie was absolutely so entertaining and skillfully put together. As a creative person myself, I was inspired by the quality of the movie. But at the same time, it made all of my creations see so very small.

Even though Version2 of lifeteen.com will soon be done, it still seems like such a small accomplishment compared to a movie like that. We almost missed the movie because I was at work so late last night. Whenever I stay at work late, it reminds me of Georgia Tech. We always worked through the night. There’s a certain invincibility that comes with being a workaholic.

I will be so happy when the new website is up, because I will finally have something to the world that I’ve been up to something the past couple years. I want to call old friends from college, but I am embarrassed that I do not have any glowing example of my hard work.
