Closing a Chapter

When reading  a good story, finishing a chapter always offers an interesting, albeit brief, moment of mysterious energy.  If what just happened was unbelievable, what’s going to happen next?

Recently, I’ve felt a chapter close behind me.  The last 6 months were ridiculous.  However, the events looming in April will likely completely dethrone them.

I’ll be running the Boston Marathon.  To understand the human condition, you have to push yourself and sometimes put yourself in challenging situations.  This of course has its costs (hopefully my achilles tendon won’t be one of those.  Note to self: don’t train too quickly for a Marathon).

I’ll be spending my time in completely new ways.  I’ll be championing the concept of  the need for a free workspace that helps new entrepreneurs transition into the entrepreneurial community and into the wild.  I may even be taking one of those things they call a “job” (gasp!, although the work I do never really seems like work).  I may even gain this mythical thing called “income.”

However, the “job” I take could range from the high tech IT sector to venture capital to working on a documentary to helping an autistic man live a more full life.  In the quest to do interesting things, the consideration of options is unbounded. With so many interesting things to do, the tragedy is the absolute necessity to focus on only one.

So here goes.  Let the cards lie.
