I have a deep post (but this isn’t it)
Jul 20, 2007 Family, work work work
My brain isn’t working deeply yet. Yesterday I had a lunch meeting then went to my dad’s office and made him update his LinkedIn and link to me. Heh. I’m exploiting my well-connected dad and hitting him up for in-person intros so why not virtual ones??
It’s ironic, considering my father issues (as long-time readers know) that I’m now in a business similar to my dad’s. You know, selling services and networking galore. (My dad is a financial advisor.)
Yesterday I showed him my postcard campaign (the first box arrived yesterday) and he was full of happy surprise and praise. I may be 37-years old but with daddy issues like mine, I have to tell you that praise from my dad goes a long long way.
When I was walking across the sidewalk to meet him at the door of his building and saw him standing there grinning at me in his glasses, looking like the nice little Jewish man that he has become I thought, “I like this guy.”
I’ve come a long way, baby. But then so has he.

Lovely post!
I like the new looks, except the fact that the writing looks fuzzy with the tiny white “polka-dotted” background.
About a previous post, you probably know already that I treasure your openness in the blog. Your blog was one of the first ones I read and one of my favorites, hands down.
The piece you edited for LM? Wow, piercingly heartbreaking. I had to skim through the middle parts since they were too painful for me…
