Marking time.

Marking time.

I remember the last time I included these two photos: it was five years ago, to the day, as part of post that, if you have nothing better to do, can revisit by clicking here. If you think it not worth the trouble, suffice it to say it was a love letter to my earliest, often awful days as an account person. 

Five years is a very long time. Five years goes by faster than you imagine.  


I’d be posting more often than I have been these past several months, but after the better part of nine years holding forth on subjects I hope prove helpful to you, I’ve realized that what began as a resource has become mostly a repository for memories, memorials, and milestones like this one. 

Is this a bad thing? For the people who know me, and who have shared all or part of the journey with me, I surely hope not.
