Years of planning...this is it!

Years of dreaming. Years of taking steps, some small, some big. Happiness and anguish. Tears of joy and sadness. Today, another BIG day with two key contacts that could potentially make stage two of this dream a reality.

The best part: it is not about money. This whole endeavor will not bring riches, but I am sure the benefits along the process will be priceless.

Alarm went off at 3 am. Jump into shower. Humming Buble’s ‘It’s a Beautiful Day’. No more ties. Jeans. Casual shoes. Jacket and a linen pocket square. ALWAYS a pocket square. Cufflinks. ALWAYS cufflinks. I have gone through my keynote presentation a hundred times. On the wrist: the one who started it all....my DJ.

...off to the airport. Still dark outside. But boy, oh boy; it’s a BEAUTIFUL DAY!

Wish me luck!

Yes. And because of your picture I've just logged online onto my favorite cycling shop and spent 40 Euro on 4 pairs of the weirdest color ever cycling socks. You owe me 40 Euro mister..

Good luck G! A life of casual shoes and jeans sounds wonderful!!! I am sure you will mail whatever it is you need to do.

Luck if when preparation meets timing. And I think they are about to intersect for you!!
