Happy New Year! This month, I'm spending a couple of weeks with the folks at Hattery, a start-up in San Francisco. They've hired me to help fit out their brand-new office, constructing some conference tables, desks, chairs, and brainstorming about how they can use their space. One of their employees, Mark Wills, is a friend of mine from Alabama.
In the space of a week, I have crossed the continent. Seven days ago, I was in Baltimore for the holidays. I drove back to Chicago, with a layover in Ohio, spent a few days in the Windy City, and then continued on my way. Yesterday afternoon, I got in a bus and rode to a train station. I got in a train and rode to the airport. I got in a plane and flew to Phoenix. I got in another plane and flew to San Francisco. I got in a pickup truck and drove to the couch that will be my bed for awhile.
