I had an interesting synchronicity experience earlier this Summer at the end of June that is worth mentioning.

We were invited to a wedding that was to be hosted in Big Sur.  However, due to the fires that were spreading across California, the wedding had to be relocated the week of!  Our friends sent an e-mail out to a bunch of us to update us of the new location, etc.  This e-mail was sent to my fiancee, and I just happened to look over her shoulder while she was reading the e-mail.  Now, this was going to be a kind of wedding where you go and you only really know the folks getting married, but I noticed that I recognized one e-mail address.  

The e-mail address belonged to an ex-girlfriend of mine.  Not just an ordinary "ex," but perhaps the most significant "ex" in the history of my development as an individual growing into the bewildering world of love and finding oneself's place within that realm.  She was my first true love, and the first girlfriend that I lived with.  She was also the first girl to truly break my heart. So, in many ways, a first, and a relationship of that nature is sure to be stamped heavily into your psychic makeup.  I hold no ill will towards this person and think she's awesome, by the way.  We haven't really stayed in touch that well but we are on good terms whenever we do communicate, see each other, etc., although that is very infrequent.

I've decided to do all of my SharePoint-related blogging on the SharePoint Users Group site (www.thesug.org) instead of Esoteric Delights.

I'm doing this for a couple of reasons - 1) the SUG has way better search engine optimization than my blog, so my posts about SharePoint have a better chance of being found and helping other folks in the MOSS developer community on that site and 2) I'd rather keep my worklife and personal life separate ;)  Perhaps a false distinction, but it makes me feel better, and also may not alienate my friends and esoteric readers as much.

So...if you are looking for SharePoint stuff, check out my other blog dedicated only to that subject, A Rolling Stone that Gathers MOSS.
