"I made some big decisions, most of them basically insane as far as Hollywood conventional wisdom goes."

I can infer what some of those decisions were based on where you ended up, but would love to know more. As I'm in a period of big decision making, too, I'd love to know what was the "order of operations" for these decisions? The criteria? How did you spouse take it? Did it code like a breakdown? And when did you know you were finished making them and felt on solid ground again, if ever?

great post, Scott. Really great.

"you have to deal with it before it deals with you." wise words, scott.

Thanks for the post, Scott. Needed it.
