Time away

Well, it's been a while, but here's the deal:

Back in Peg- been meeting so many excellent people lately that, had I met them a year or two earlier, I'd be in a much different position right now.

Getting my properties managed, met an awesome company, have developed a pretty good relationship with the owners, would love to do some projects with them in the future.

Taking the renderings business in a new direction, things are looking pretty good,

Got the store online yesterday, some major gliches to iron out, but it should be pretty turnkey after this, next step is to get the Indian guy to start doing forum / classified posts to get the word out. Might start a facebook fan group. Actually, that's a pretty good idea, I will do that.

Been working like crazy on several reno projects since I got back, its actually pretty amazing how much I have finished. I built a kick-ass patio at fleet, finished the balcony on the second floor, and have begun painting the Pritchard block. I updated Un-slum.blogspot.com with new pictures. It is getting a lot of attention, and I was contacted by an agency administering rehab grants in the area. They extended the deadline so I could apply. Haven't heard, might hear by tomorrow.

Been invited to the private Winnipeg Squash Raquet Club many times over the last little while by some very excellent people. I find I am pretty handy with a squash racquet. Better than ever, actually. It has provided me with some of the easiest networking opportunities I've been able to find.



So many things going right, so what should I do? Take a chance and leave it all! If it's this easy here, I'm sure its even easier elsewhere.
