So here I am sitting and working on the G20 project I’ve mentioned earlier. I’m putting a Keynote presentation together of our design concept. Looking forward to seeing it come to life.
Follow the progress here.

You know, I give Jon a lot of grief at work. But when I see him working late on something about which he’s impassioned - about which I’m impassioned too - I get a familiar feeling in my heart. It’s a feeling I learned over the course of 9 years of Catholic school, a feeling with which I try not to burden my own children too heavily. It’s guilt. And if I meditate on that guilt, if I let it live in me rather than try to deny it, I realize something - something about humanity, something about myself, something about Jon.
I realize he probably only deserves 55-65% of the grief I give him.
