I want you all to know I’m still catching my breath after retiring, and I haven’t forgotten my promise to be more communicative.

My first week “off” was really more like a bonus work week – I spent Monday and Tuesday at BlinkOn 21, and Wednesday and Thursday nights remotely attending a W3C board meeting.  My second week was at least a little less work-focused – but I spent the entire week traveling to visit my parents, so not quite the productive introspective time I had hoped for.

As I enter into my third week of unemployment, though, I do want you all to know that I have noted everyone who was interested in getting together both privately and as a group, and I will be contacting you all shortly.  I also have sketches of the first two substantive blog posts, so I hope to move along on that as well. In the meantime, I’m cleaning house, cleaning my office, budgeting for post employment, and checking my dive gear for my first scuba diving trip. Talk to you soon.
