This tail's still twitching....

So after almost three years I've dug around my laptop's Mozilla password file and managed to successfully revive my nearly three year old blog. Gotta love that (I'm sure all my IT Security friends out there are rolling their eyes). I hated enforcing password policy when I was in IT. Poo poo.

I'm now in a different line of work. Is it everything that I've dreamed of? Maybe not everything, but it's pretty darned close. I can easily say I'm happy with my work, and that's a great thing that some people just don't have. I'm fortunate. Changing careers didn't come without its costs, however, some of which I'm still paying for (I don't have the life that most early 30-somethings have), and there were a few rock-bottom points along the way. Would I do it again? Probably, but it'd be better to ask me that five or ten years from now.

I'm getting back into triathlon again, too. Next stop is Cancun for the 70.3 Series race. I'm excited. I've always liked that distance but have raced only two. My last triathlon was the Quelle Roth Challenge Ironman in 2005. The race rocked. I didn't. Shuffled on home, I did, for the last half of the marathon with the six-fingered man from the Princess Bride whispering to me how many years of my life he had just taken away (refering to the dungeon torture scene of our good boy Wesley). And while I said it would be my last, I'm seriously considering IM Wisconsin next fall. Ask me after the race about how I liked it and I'll probably say the same thing I wrote two sentences ago.

So, in and out of the comfort zone, and back to hunt another day. In the words of Paul Sherwin, "That's what you get when you suffer - you get results." Bring it.
