About four weeks ago my father asked me a question that was totally unexpected. Altough, as I learned in a conversation with my step mother, the beautiful “Mataji” as our children refer to her, I was aware that my father was to sail his unique stay-less sailboat from the gold coast of Australia to Tasmania… My only inner response, as she spoke of how my uncle Jay would likely be asked but more interested in gold than such a trip, was… “what about me?”; which was quickly followed by my inner cynic; “yeah, that’ll be the day!”.

But, then in astonishment my chin became slack, when indeed during one of our conversations centered around Dad calling me for tips on some bothersome IT ailment, he asked, amazingly calmly almost matter-of-factly; “hey, would you be interested in helping me sail our boat to Tasmania?”

!!!!!!!! Um….. YEAAAAAAH!

….gulp, but… I gotta check it out with the boss, my dear Sulhada.

I did mention it in passing one conversation shortly there after, and had even decided it would be impossible soon after as he had been planning on travelling about a week earlier, and I was way to busy with my own business to do such a thing.

But then a turn of events; our friend Trou visited us and when I told him anou the opportunity he immediately said, “I’ll come stay here with Sukhada & the kids if that would help.”!! Uh, yeah! That would help.

It was around this time that Sukhada woke up one morning and with love in her eyes said, “you should, you should go be with your Dad.”. Wow, I knew what it meant for her to come to this decision and it meant an enormous amount to me.

That was one been light, now the other, my business. Radmacdaddy Productions or RMD pro, has become a lifeline for both my clients, and my family. I am enormously grateful for the gift this business has been in a small state like Vermont where work can be real challenge, and of course in these times that means even more. And, as it worked out I saw a lull approaching, and also learned that the work I normally do in emergency support soul have full backup support by a great guy and colleague right in my
Neighboring town. Second green light.

Clear road…

So here I am, not in Kansas anymore, nor Vermont! But about to touch down in Sydney, in about five minutes.

I will still be plugged in for the next day or two as I settle into Sudney awaiting the arrival if Convergence into the harbor. I hope to resolve some home business, assuring that Troy our kind friend, will arrive safely to VT and hang with the family. And get the opportunity to focus on other client design work. Oh, yeah, and enjoy this!!
