Just A Little Push Will Help You Step Off The Ledge [PT1]

The thing to know about me - and believe me there could be many things - is that often, no, more than often I over think things. That includes this blog, as I tap-tap-tap the keys. When I have to deliver the bad news I can't just present the news. No, I have to work over every permutation, every possible thing that could be asked, could be said, could be thought, think about every thought I might have, write the script and hope that the dissertation that I spill forth is more than diarehea of the mouth and is something resembling a well intentioned individual, just trying to make his way in the world.

Digression

[You'll more than likely find that my punctuation sucks, I never know where a comma belongs, I think and type too quickly to remember the rules.]


So, what I have said yet? Nothing really.

Well I told my firm - an architecture firm I have been with for six years [i left for a two month period almost exactly a year ago] - that my wife and I will be moving to the Twin Cities area at the end of October. Everything up to that point was nerve wracking, I kept thinking I would be told to pack my shit and don't let the door hit me on the way out, that there would be questions, prodding, chastisment and water torture, but nothing like that happened. What did happened was compasion was displayed for individual and his becoming, his journey to becoming not only a better architect, but a better person and better husband. For that I am eternally grateful.
