Recently, given the ever present earpiece noise-- I have noticed it more difficult to concentrate on new business projects-- and have found my love of plants both indoors and out, a brief intermission from some of the more alarming topics offered by those constantly chatting in my ear.

A deadline is approaching, however since I have been hoping for more than 17 years-- I am not overly excited and this seems to bother those in my ear more than me.

I have gotten this far-- by maintaining low excitement and depression levels. I do yell at thin air on occasion. I think what has kept me sane? The "Why" factor. I think I have most of those now.

When I am sad-- it is more because I am sad or disappointed with others. Happiness-- I love business and coming up with new ideas. This has kept me excited and busy over the years-- see WiredPages. How dare those who have taken credit for my work.

I have not been doing much in the way of new business ideas/projects lately-- because I am distracted with what appears to be a sealed DOJ and FBI investagation. That said, since the earpiece was activated about 7 weeks ago, I have tried to keep up with bug fixes on WiredPages and other areas of my sites and my green thumb has helped to distract. I cannot tell you how much I want this process over so I can have those devices removed from my ears.
