Oh, cool.
I busted my ass to get to the mountains for a job, only to be told that the entire project is being put on hold, because the client wants to take a different direction. SWEET. THANKS GUYS.
On the plus side, I still get paid for traveling, and it’s always nice to be home and see old friends. The Pro Cycling Challenge is here today, and everything is crazy and fun. SO, whatever. Thanks for the unexpected weekend vacation!
Back home tomorrow for some more cycling, friends, beautiful weather, and many adult beverages. STOKED.
sitting in this moment, finding peace in the knowledge that no matter how confusing or upsetting it may be right now, things will happen exactly as they should. i am in far more capable hands than my own. if nothing else, i can feel good about that.

Ben E. King - Stand By Me
Jerry Leiber, half of one of the most prolific and successful pop songwriting teams of all time, died Monday morning in Los Angeles of cardio-pulmonary failure following a lengthy illness, according to a source at Leiber and Stoller Enterprises. He was 78 years old.
Many of Leiber and Stoller’s songs became standards that lived well past their original performances. Their 1952 composition “Kansas City” was a hit for Wilbert Harrison in 1959 and was later recorded by Little Richard, The Beatles, Brenda Lee, Sammy Davis, Jr., James Brown and The Everly Brothers. The version of “Stand by Me” performed by Ben E. King, who co-wrote the song, was a top ten hit in both 1961 and 1986.
oh, and also?
I am putting all of my bad clients in a time out. name calling because you want the impossible, and you want it NOW, is not very nice. I know they don’t understand it fully, but come on now, don’t be rude. manners. MANNERS!
I promise I’m done bitching now.
