Happy Thanksgiving

Snowing up, just 15 minutes 'fore dark.

First people into the office - Last out.  That's how we roll.

I'd say I'm most thankful that there are tons of things and people and clients and employees and friends in my life that get undervalued during the stress of fixing problems all day long.  The good far outweighs the bad, and it's important that that perspective isn't underweighted -

I think that one of the inherent maladies at being good at what you do - the self-criticism and process-analysis that got you where you wanted to be has a habit of lingering centrally when it's presence isn't as vital anymore.

Or put another way, as my wise-cracking ex-wife said, when I responded to something with -

"...that's why I'm the Man."

and she said -

" and you see where that's gotten you."

Ouch.
