Brands) about a year ago for some of the same reasons. After having been with the company for over 10 years I felt like my life was slipping away. It wasn't a bad place to work it just wasn't conducive to how I wanted to live and give back to the community. I'm not building my own computer server appliance startup company and am loving the freedom and time it gives me. The sheer terror of going out on your own is kinda fun too, it a really twisted way. :) Anyway, I just wanted to throw in my $.02 and tell you that you did the right thing. Good luck. Later... Richard Nick,

Weird how something like someone else's needs are what cause us to shift. Your conscience is alive again! which is such a paradox that a death caused aliveness to your most inner self. Then again that is the same story the good book tells. So we celebrate life- your mate's, the one you have had until now and the one you are about to embark on. Best to you in your transition..

When I bailed on the Silicon Valley it was for the same reason. But even here in Kentucky, with a slower pace, I find myself neglecting the truly important things sometimes. Thanks for reminding me. I'll be following your progress. If you're going to SMC Louisville this month I should be there. Make sure to say hi. Admirable, and not easy, but you’ll come out a better person for taking control.

I know there's nothing to say that makes this any easier, but you should be proud of yourself for acting in such an honorable way as a result. Most of us are guilty of giving our time and attention to those things in life that are not the most imp. We work ridiculous hours and tell our loved ones "maybe later." It's crazy. I'm inspired by your decision and I hope to see you very soon!! Big hug Nick!
