2010 has turned out to be pretty normal so far. Nothing particularly noticeable about the turn of the decade so far aside from the fact that it’s actually “2010”. I distinctly recall one time when I was in 3rd grade once and the teacher had asked us to try think about what we’d be when we grew up. I can’t quite remember what profession I aspired to be at the time (sure wasn’t “designer”), but I DO recall thinking how neat it would be to write down “2000” as the year. “Would I ever make it? WOW!”

Now here we are a decade past Y2k. It’ll be odd thinking that my boy will grow up one day and think how ancient his mom and dad are because we were born in a completely different century. /sigh

Life is in a pretty decent holding pattern right now. We have our stresses and concerns regarding everything from business to family finances just like any other new family, but I’m always cautious to remind myself that everyone else has got their own challenges to tackle so that’s just the way things will be for a while. BUT everyone’s healthy & happy so I’ve got about the best situation I can ask for right now.

Let’s see….quick snapshot:

  • My brother and his wife coming to visit soon!
  • Kingston reaching his first birthday!
  • My fishtank looks like a disaster right now when the filter died last month in a power outtage. I’d describe it looking like something out of the show “Dirty Jobs”
  • Trying to plan for a trip to Hong Kong in a few months. Can a 1.5 year old handle the flight? Are we finally going to experience what it’s like being the “irritating parents with the crying baby” on the flight?
  • Possible expansion of Lowe Studio services to Australia.  Australia?!  Yup, I have tons of family there actually and I’ve heard there’s some opportunity to bring some of my work Down Under. I guess I can’t make any more “WTF Mate” or “Put another shrimp on the barbie” jokes anymore with the possibility of offending anyone there.

There you have it. Still alive. Still kicking. I’m ready for this 2010 year. Bring it!
