Funemployment works

My friend David Lott introduced me to the idea of “funemployment”. It captures my life pretty well right about now.

A couple days ago a friend of Craig’s came into town for an art show. He’s a successful real estate investor from Louisville. We had a great time showing him around, going to Muhammad Yunus’s (2006 Nobel Peace Prize winner) talk at Microsoft, lunch at Wild Ginger (incredibly delicious!), and a great afternoon jamming together at the Experience Music Project. The evening before, I had no idea I was going to do any of this. Funemployment is great.

On Thursday, I had to drop a laptop off at an repair depot in Bellevue, so I swung by a Bellevue Toastmaster’s meeting. It was fun – I did an improv speech which was voted best of the day and got an invitation to speak to another group.

Thursday evening was spent fulfilling various social obligations – goodbye parties and potluck reciprocation dinners and such. Mmm… Good day!
