When I was younger, I did not have a full appreciation of that sea
fairing service which would shape my identity. While not as glamorous,
I've been given another opportunity with the California Senate. With
both age and experience, maybe I have learned to appreciate these
moments. Yesterday was my first day as an official Senate employee. While nothing really changed, I, nonetheless, appreciate this opportunity. While evaluating my career, I realize I like to code, but I do miss interacting with people, particularly in a leadership or mentor role.
This weekend is our 23rd anniversary -- a busy time as school ends. Pearl has been the constant throughout my life, as we parent and build a home together.
Caleb may have a job. In some respects, I was hoping that he would be home for summer. But, I think the job would be a good confidence boost for him. Philip will work as an unpaid intern with me at the Senate.
