Self-Aggrandizement: Heading Home

With a touch of Hawaiian sunburn, some significant progress on Cyan's C round from the prior week, and a bad case of jet lag (to be reinforced tomorrow on my second 3000 mile leg from San Francisco), I'm headed back to New York City to resume the daily pace of my crazy life.

These few days of tropical 'vacation' were much needed, though also a good reminder that, at my age, most people only head to Maui's Wailea coast on honeymoon - attractive women and giant diamonds therefore spotted in precisely equal count.

More exciting, however, is the coming-shortly first set of theatrical returns from our ongoing Oh in Ohio release. Having sunk my personal savings into pushing Cyan ahead, and having similarly deferred salary for months to ensure sufficient dollars in the bank to underwrite the film's national marketing campaign, I'm thrilled to see the bets and sacrifices paying off, and the accompanying additional few zeroes added to the end of my bank balance.

Money may not, as they say, buy happiness, but the chronic lack of it is a serious pain in the ass.
