First Days

The holidays have ended.

Jen is back to work, as are most of you.

And I’m… I’m doing things. Things like getting our carpets cleaned, and the woodwork repaired, and turning down an offer for a dream job in Seattle…

Yeah. It’s true.

But you know the trouble with “dream jobs?” They’re often a lot of other people’s dream jobs as well…
And as such, the pay isn’t exactly competitive. At least, not for a guy in his 40’s with a wife and child.
And Seattle is a very expensive city. I won’t go into specifics but, with adjustments for cost of living, I was looking at making about $500 a month over minimum wage.

As such, I will not be writing and editing Pathfinder manuals and novels. (Man, they’ve really got to do something about that website…)

This does make me a little sad. But there’s nothing I can do…  So onward.

In brighter news, there’s been a lot of hanging out with Daphne this past week. And I took her to her first day of ECI school yesterday.

Ready for her “first day of school” pictures?

I know I’m a little biased, but seriously… Is that not the most adorable thing you’ve ever seen?

No?

Well what about this?

That’s right…I got a video of it.

I’ll will undoubtedly talk at length about what I thought of their curriculum, but for now, let’s leave it there.

Talk to you soon.
