Journal of today’s activities:

I boarded a flight that returned me from Orange County to the Bay area this morning. Once I returned home, I had hours of work to catch up on. I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed right now. Carole and I are getting a taking advantage of lower interest rates to refinance the home we purchased upon my release from prison. In addition to the details associated with that work, we’re considering options of how we should move forward in light of the opportunities available in Southern California. I have complications, of course, because I still report to a federal probation officer. Even if we wanted to relocate to Southern California, we would need to overcome some hurdles because Southern California is a different jurisdiction from Northern California, where I’m currently required to live. I’ll navigate these challenges with Carole. Justin and I will discuss whether I can be more effective as a resource to him down there than I can be from in the Bay area. All of these discussions will help Carol and me make the best decision for our family going forward.
