Raindrops, 2006
Was it a good time? Did you miss anything? All you could to make happy? Of course not, and yes.
For my crew and agency, it was a good time. 2 major assignments delivered to overseas clients and a third one in progress. A host of side-projects, smaller, with more freedom and for which inventions and turns were in the game. Cashed in, grown up, harvested well and, hopefully, seeds and occasions for new growth that will materialize in the future.
W., partner in life, gone from amateur fabric design to partnering with distributors on yarn designs and projects. That's the growing-fastest. And a sweet dealing daily, complications considered, I'm in love with a beautiful mind.
M., now 5, speaking both lingoes, with her astounding on-the-fly switching that impresses and scares and now learning French and getting confident with the parent's tools: Photoshop, Painter, her G4, as well as drawing and sketching in the real world, reminding us that she is a baby, still.
Timeline, once private place, grown from few afics to few hundreds of curious minds enticed to buy and come back, enjoying the widescreen and colorful plethora of emerging talents from around the world.
To all of you a big high-6 and the same enthusiasm for life.
Now for a few more bullets:

-1 In 1973 when Brian Eno had more and better stuff to care of than producing Bono Vox, he came out with this
We hit the floor, off to drink some, thirst is timeless, see ya next year. No, before that drive to one of the boss's favorite, this girl that always cracks me up. The making of a loser. Crack.
