I've worked nonstop since my first job cutting down Christmas trees when I was 14 years old. The Dreamworks layoff was the first time since then that I've had more than a week off. At this point I've been out of work for a month and a half, and it's been glorious. I spent the last few weeks with my family travelling. I visited some of my old co-workers at...

And Blizzard Entertainment!
And the Bay Area Maker Faire!
And Disneyland!
I ate the Arby's secret menu item the "meat mountain".
I visited my childhood best friend at Bungie in Belleview Washington.
I got a tandem tattoo with my wife.
It's been an amazing ride.
