I don't recall it feeling this way when I left in 1997, or when I left Sony in 1999, but I'm feeling more depressed than happy at the moment. Of course, we have a fair amount of concerns -- hopefully the adoption will be final on Monday, and we have only had a couple of showings of the house {Hey, if you know anyone who'd like a house in Bartlett, I've got an MLS number to show them} -- which may be contributing. I ran out of 5-HTP last week, which may also be contributing.
But life moves on, and a week from yesterday we get on the road to San Diego by way of Denver and Devention.
For my friends in the Chicago area, I hope to be seeing you all again fairly soon -- next year at DucKon if not before. And we are still here for a few more days.
