It's Done

Well – its done.  I’ve handed in my Notice and I am leaving Solon after 15½ years.  I would have moved on sooner had it not been for one or two tricky periods in my life but I am where I am.

So what next?

A trip to New Zealand for a few months.

But first “Jim’s Retirement Cabaret Extravaganza”

Quote by Steve Jobs on his relationship with his wife Laureen Powell

“We didn’t know much about each other twenty years ago.  We were guided by our intuition: you swept me off my feet.  It was snowing when we got married at the Ahwahnee.  Years passed, kids came, good times, hard times. but never bad times.  Our love and respect has endured and grown.  We’ve been through so much together and here we are back where we started 20 years ago - older, wiser - with wrinkles on our faces and hearts. We now know many of life’s joys, sufferings, secrets and wonders and we’re still together. My feet have never returned to the ground.” 

Taken from Steve Jobs biography by Walter Isaacson p 530.

The thing that stands out to me in reading the biography of Steve Jobs is his temperamental arrogance and how on so many occasions he was rude, intolerant and often openly unpleasant to people and yet here is a quote about his relationship with his wife.

Is this the real Steve Jobs?
