Changes

Change is about to sweep into my life, once again.

This week I accepted the position of Vice President of Communication Services with a PR firm in Alexandria. They have been my largest client, before I left for Peru they said, "Name your price" to come work for us, I did, they said yes, and so, here we go.

Part of my price was I wanted to be able to spend the 10 weeks my son is here with him, and not in an office while he sits in day care. They agreed to that.

So, starting on Oct. 1, instead of rolling out of my bed, grabbing a cup of java and perusing the Internets to see what sort of inane contribution I could make, I'll be rolling out of bed and commuting (via bike -- their office sits on the George Washington Memorial Parkway bike trail).

I don't know what the future of the this blog will be; right now I'm taking a wait and see and attitude. Writing the blog has been a good form of expression for me. As someone who has made his living helping others craft messages on corporate and public issues, it's been a great form of expression for me to just write what I want and say what I think. At times I've been worried about crossing my personal opinions and personal live with my professional life in a way that might be harmful to me. But being an independent consultant I was able to keep that fairly balanced. Working for a firm (again) may make that balance more difficult. We'll see.

Since I started this little blog more than 45,000 people have dropped by. True, many of you came to see the pic of Chris Evans that MattyDale posted, but a small number of you liked the content enough to come by often. There is a small burgeoning community of Scott's Take regulars. Small, but it is burgeoning nonetheless. I hope that continues, because the best part about blogging is community.

So, for the next week I'll be on here doing my thing like I have been. After that we'll have to see how it goes.

Thanks for reading.
