Back To The Mines

Well, it's November now, and time to go back to the mines; our sabbatical is now ended. It's been an incredible year. We visited 10 countries, nearly 40 states (and now up to 49 in total, with just alaska to go), hiked Mt Kilimanjaro, kayaked a chunk of the Hudson River, biked from Mexico to Canada, and visited with scores of friends and relatives all over the country. And, on a sour note, we both watched our mom's pass on from this world, into whatever comes next.

We feel deeply blessed that we've had this opportunity at this stage of our lives, while we still have our health, our sanity (although some would question mine, well, and maybe Kathy's for staying with me!), and our spirit of adventure.

As our usual model, I'll start job hunting first, then Kathy will join in after I lock something down. This could be a most interesting run; the worst economic situation in our lifetime, being off work and out of circulation for 17 months, and the upcoming holidays which is traditionally a horrible hiring period anyways. But, we made our plans, and Q4 '08 was when we planned to head back "on-grid", so here we go. Should be a wild ride, and I'll keep everyone abreast of how things move along.

If anyone has an opportunity, or an introduction to an opportunity, please contact me. I can do a broad range of things; COO, CIO, Program Management, Product Management, Marketing, Sales, Rainmaking, and Operations to name a few. I can be stationary or mobile, a permanent employee or a consultant, and can travel or relocate anywhere the situation requires. Contact me at GMALumpy@gmail.com if we have reason to connect jobwise.
