Thea and I continue to have multi-hour brainstorming meetings about the next project. We hit a wall today on a part that had really energized both of us, so that whole smashing-head-on-wall thing kinda slowed us down. Still, the rest of the concept seems quite feasible. Even (dare I say it?) COOL.

There are still several important things to work through, but we have a mission statement and a vision statement we both feel good about. This is a noteworthy improvement over Informify.com, where we never really got behind the point of the site. Which meant it would never really feed our souls the way it would have to if we expected to spend 16 hours a day on it.

I’m still not back on the productivity train I’d planned to catch this week, but I’m improving. Right now my to-do list includes

  • stuff for clients (paying work)
  • stuff for the house (Fixing a banister, a lamp, and brushing dog teeth)
  • lots of stuff so we can make money again
  • selling a truck (Interested in ’97 2WD Ford Ranger? Anyone?)
  • getting in shape again

On the last item, I can proudly say that got up and took a bike ride this morning. I fully intend to do the same thing tomorrow morning. Hopefully I’ll have cut a couple pounds by the time we attend the San Francisco wedding of some friends of ours we knew in San Luis Obispo, which occurs on the 20th. (The bride-to-be is sharp as a tack, and rarely passes up the opportunity to point out my shortcomings — albeit playfully). It’s not so much a need to impress her as much as a need to offer as small of a target as possible.)

We’re looking forward to getting back to SLO for awhile. It’s been 3 years since we left, and there are definitely some places and peeps that we sorely miss.
