I tried to map out the idea of selling my confections that was mentioned by Moseley….well, the idea has stuck. I have the recipes, I think I have figured out most of the shipping issues I’d run into…..but there are a few issues, primarily the fact that I can’t work out a business model for it that will make money based on the folume that I could produce and reliably sell. The accounting is sound, but between the required insurance and permits, it just won’t work. damn.

Rushing home, fast food supper in hand, I was ecstatic to see that little brown cardboard sleeve sitting (almost posed) on our front step….sitting there, beckoning “where have you been? I’ve been waiting here since 2:00” so, in we rush, gobbling down fast food as I fumbled the TV on and off a few times before I slowed myself down enough to get it set up for the xbox, off came the wrapper, in went the disk, and up came the opening cinematic….but not a normal cinematic, the kind I learned to expect having played every Fallout game ever made.

I was feeling a bit of the Fallout-flu comming on, that sickening feeling in my stomach (knowing that Fallout New Vegas will be sitting on the doorstep waiting for me) and a strong lack of focus (can't keep my mind from drifting off, wondering how awesome the game will be).....but then reality sets in, my wife will be in meetings all day, so she can't leave early with me.....and if she can't be there, I will have to wait.....

I guess I can say that I’mcomming up to a hard point in my life, time to question how I’ve arranged the priorities in my life. Granted, my wife always comes first, but after that…… after all, there is only so much time in the day, and from what I’ve learned this weekend, I can’t pull off the sleep deprivation I use to endure during college for the sake of addressing all priorities. I’m just getting too old, too tired, and I need to fall back and regroup.
