S is also for Sally's BBQ!

We had a small get-together last night at Sally's house as a way to enjoy what was supposed to be a 70-degree day here in Seattle. Turns out, it wasn't so warm, but the time was more fun than even expected. Lots of folks were able to come by, and it was awesome to see good friends -- especially as I'm nearing a much more real 'Point of No Return' in this transition to New York. The BYOGrill turned into a smorgasbord of meat with Sally -- naturally -- taking care of everyone at the party. Being camera happy, I snapped a number of photos, but not as many as I should have!

I'm not sure if you can tell in my writing this morning, but I'm feeling mellow from an interrupted night of sleep and the reality that three days is not enough even in light of already having had 12 behind me. Crazy concept altogether. I had an interesting conversation with my colleague Casey Selleck yesterday around the concept of renting my home. My response -- more because I need to believe it myself -- was that one simply has to accept the reality that you may never live there again, may never again own those material possessions, and just have to let them go. Lord, help me!

Back to the night... it finished with an hour of Sally and I on the deck enjoying the dying fire. It felt like one of those nights where it was 2AM and the party was over and you're stuck between that place of sleeping standing up or acting on something so that you'll get it done. In this case, the something I needed to act upon was getting off my duff and getting home to crash. Sadly, it was only 11PM! I love that!
