Shimone in 2005
As predicted, today marks the 1st anniversary of my 30th birthday!

My father once said to me: the hardest years of your life will be between the ages of 18 and 25. Looking back I can say he was definitely right. While things have gotten more complicated (and expensive!) they have also grown much calmer and settled. I "get it" I suppose and can now spend my days focusing on my passions, my interests, my talents and my career.

In Jungle Life news, I realize the quality and frequency of posts have declined here in recent months. This is largely due to my leaving a steady full-time job for the fast-paced world of contracting and to meeting a wonderful woman with whom I spend most of my free time. I've always felt the need to keep things moving forward but once the two settle to a rolling simmer things should start getting bubbly around here in due time. It's all about the balance and Jungle Life will be tipping the scales again before you know it...

Thanks all for the support!
