September and October have been fabulously busy months for me, which can explain a bit of the radio silence on this blog. I just wrapped two large client projects — one a commercial real estate investment portfolio with great professional photography, and the other a really exciting microfinance project that’s due to launch by the end of the month. Sandwiched somewhere in between were a number of subcontracting projects for a couple great firms.

Also, I managed to sneak in some short vacations to San Francisco and New York. Both were wonderful trips — refreshing times that helped to reset my perspective on things. All work and no play really does make Jack a dull boy.

Still, the most important bit — I got engaged. I’m lucky in many ways, but proposing to the most wonderful person in my life surely tops all else. I’ve been smiling about this for over a week, and it doesn’t show any signs of letting up. It’s just like that adage — when you know, you’ll know.

Anyhow, I feel refreshed and focused, and this blog is far from over. Stay tuned.
