Preview to my new year: Reassesment

I just resigned from Calix after 4.5 years, and will be a full time MBA/MPA candidate with Presidio Graduate School in January. I will still be an active member of the Broadband Forum, so as to stay relevant in the telecommunications industry.

I’ve also decided to rent my house to a trusted couple who was displaced by the recent Sonoma fires starting in February. I have thought and planned all this for some time.

I also bought a new used Subaru Outback to busk my harp out of – on the road. It may sound crazy and dramatic to some, but it’s a natural progression for me. 2017 has been difficult. Very difficult. What do you call a person who has no more f**ks to give, and yet s**t keeps happening? I can’t care anymore, yet I keep caring.

Well, I’m there.

So if I can’t stop s**t from happening, I’ll have to choose what to “care”. Like Forrest Gump when he started to run. But because I’m no Forrest Gump, I’m also going to need to play music for me, for others, because it’s therapeutic. Hence a good, reliable car for road trips across the USA, playing harp. And attending classes once a month. And attending BBF meetings.

I need help. I’m looking for two things:

1. someone to adopt my ducks for a year, maybe two.

2. places to go and catch up with friends anywhere in the USA. Maybe doing house concerts. I’d drive to you to visit with you until we get bored of each other, which should only be a few days, right?
