"Isn't that why you quit working at Goldman?"

Asks my innocent father when I tell him how busy my life has been with work.

It is and it isn't.

It has now been four months since I've started working at Google. Life's been hectic to say the least. However, it's not the same kind of hectic I had at my previous jobs. It's tiring and at times overwhelming like the other jobs were. But it's also invigorating and exciting and interesting and challenging. Basically, it meets all the criteria I had when I was looking for a job. And then some...

So the last few months have been busy. When I'm not working or tired from working, I generally try to hang out with David and Jake. I think about writing often, but don't actually get around to doing it. As is the case with every year-end, I decided last week that writing more often would be good for me. Taking photos more often would be good for me. And reading more would be good for me. So I plan to do more of all three. If you don't see me writing for three consecutive days, feel free to harass me.

All this ambition could be fueled by the almost ten days of relatively lull activity that is sure to end within 24 hours but I am still going to give it my best.

I have taken a ton of photos of David and some of Palo Alto. I have read two books and making good progress on a third. I have even scrapbooked a few pages. All in the last ten days. Let's see how the next ten days work.

More to come later.
