I wasn’t fully aware of what I’d have to deal with concerning the things that come along with being a business owner, and I’ve only just begun. I’m sure there’s another lovely surprise pile of dung to deal with at every crooked turn on the way to the finish, wherever the hell that is. I did see a bit of what it was like when my wife was totally on her own as a freelancer. She had to fight the hardest for the smallest amounts of money and from the ones who most likely didn’t have any intention of working with her again. This could easily turn into a rant about integrity and relationship building or upkeep but there’s nothing new to that and I’m determined not to turn into “that bitter old dude”.

So in the mean time, I’m enjoying my second round of Stumptown Ethiopia Suke Quto.
