Went Boston for a relative's wedding. It was an enjoyable trip. My wife had fun but my son had fantastic time. It was great to seem him socialize with other kids. I am sometimes afraid that he might have social awkwarndess that I have but looks like that is not the case.
Visited a friend and a college/HS friend. Both had houses. I thought it was nice to have a house and space but the more important was the neighbors. For that reason I like my friend's house. Location-wise I was not very impressed - may be that's because I am spoilt by the NYC skyline view from my apartment.
While thinking about stuff, I realized that what I was missing was not a house but a vocation that I really enjoy and long-life. I really do not want to work as a professional-coolie trying to meet someone else's agenda. May be owing a small business is not a bad idea. I read an article on Charlie Rose about him on Fortune where he tells that he had fond memories of him working at his father's store while growing up. I do not think a lot of children of professional's have that kind of memories.
Of course I do not want to own a store. In my ideal of the ideal worlds, I would own an investment fund that invests in a variety of businesses but there will be a core business that will generate the required money. I NEED A CASH-COW BUSINESS. It might take a while to get into this business but I need to think ahead. Even if I look for a job it will be a short-term assignment before I really push into my "own thing".
