I Quit! (sort of)
Effective today, seashell software is no longer my primary job. I'm making a full-time committment to the New Orleans Street Railway Association, as its first president.
After a long talk with the family, they agreed to let me pursue this dream, mainly because it will keep me at home as opposed to almost 40 weeks a year on the road doing computer training. I fully support my son's committment to his high school's band, and it's easier on the family if my wife isn't a single parent at home.
I'll still be doing teaching and consulting, mind you, that's why this is a "sort of" resignation. Still, the roles have shifted. I'm a streetcar/nonprofit manager first, computer geek second.
Best wishes to everyone, and come support NOSRA!
