‘a lot of people simply asleep at the switch. Drifting. Unplugged. Uninvolved. Unhappy.’
How right you are.
Great post.
I feel that I am ‘living the dream’ - only with my eyes wide open to the problems and challenges ahead. In fact, just like any other self-employed entrepreneur in 2008.
And yes, I do sometimes forget to shout about what it took to get here and how great it is.
But I am British. Rather different mindset.

Welcome to Austin! The water’s great — and so is the food. Everything pretty much rocks here, come to think of it. Good luck getting settled in, and drop a line if you want any tips for getting connected, as there are a few useful groups for that purpose. (I relocated here in October 2006.)

Welcome to Austin. I’ve been here 24 years. Prepare for those trying to keep it weird - Austin is so weird nowadays, that to be weird you have to go quite aways.

Wasn’t it Spock who said, “In an insane world even the sane man appears insane.” He was in Austin at the time.

AMEN!!!

Traveling is great for the muse. I get so much material out of a trip…whether it be in quality thinking time behind the wheel or the new faces and places I see.

Great post. Enjoy Austin–it’s a great city.

Amen! Congratulations on living the dream.

I’m quite sure I knew you in a past life when I was Security Specialist in the USAF. I’m living the dream now too.
