Free Willy

Maybe I should try a new pose. I'm realizing that once this, um, "process" is over, all I'll have are these kind of funny profile shots. Next week, I think my photographer and I will get creative. Don't worry. Nothing involving our sheepskin rug; indeed nothing that you'll need to shield your eyes from... This photo was taken yesterday evening. It's the official 25.9 week photo.

I have some busy days ahead of me this week. Lots of meetings... hopefully a couple of which will turn into some quite interesting projects. On top of this, two potential clients have been referred to me. So, I'll assume something with those will be happening this week as well. (Positive way to look at it, yes?)

I met Friday with a very nice girl/woman (I have a hard time using the word woman for myself... so when I meet someone younger, imagine my struggle.) Digression. Back to the girrwoman. She's someone I hope to be working with in the future -- a potential project partner.

I'm finding that there are many incredibly talented freelance consultants who seem to work in the shadows. I didn't realize how many, actually. I'm optimistic about the partnership opportunities this will allow. These relationships, I'm hoping, will be the compensation I need in projects where a larger team is really needed.

On the Bean front, this weekend was very productive. We now have both the crib and changing table. Cool! They are an Italian brand called Pali, and are very nice. And we bought them for a song off Craigslist! I love Craigslist. Both pieces are truly like new. Once they are set up, I'll post pictures. Could be a few weeks...

OK. Back to work.
