This week will be a bit atypical, but productive nevertheless.
My main priorities are following up with any loose ends from last week’s various conversations to keep that momentum and making sure the launch of my ~6 weeks travel away from Panama are smooth. That’ll cover Monday and Tuesday.
I have a red eye departure Wednesday morning and am scheduled to land in my home town by 4pm EST. I plan to check in Wednesday evening to confirm arrival, settle in and recharge the batteries.
Thursday morning I’ll continue the settling and will hopefully have an article from the queue to publish, but at this point don’t know how productive I’ll be in airports and on flights.
Thursday noon EST I plan to make the ~40 minute drive to the farm I learned to kill on, get the afternoon deer hunt in and stay at the camp with my father and friends. I’ll hunt Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning ((Unless a shooting buck crosses my cross hairs and I have one hanging prior.)).
Shooting hours end at ~4pm each day and the camp has a modem, so I expect to keep up with the logs and blogs in the evenings in between card hands. When you’re in the woods you find yourself with a lot of time to think, so I’ll bring a notebook to make sure I capture my thoughts. I’ll be bringing my camera and for sure the hunting blog will be published ((Most likely early next week)).
I expect getting back the breathing the cold, sitting and stalking the woods and hearing the silence will be quite the refreshing return to my roots ((Maple Syrup is made in the spring when the sap retreats to the roots during the cold of the night and flows up the trunk when the days are warm enough.)) and I’m committed to preventing any type of regression and ensuring that any step backward will be a set up for two steps forward the following week.
My review and plan will be published on Sunday and as a sneak peak for two weeks out, Monday the 25th I’ll be back to work, including meeting with a local prospect/referral source Monday evening. Tuesday the 26th and Wednesday morning the 27th will continue on the normal work path with Thanksgiving festivities starting Wednesday evening a being a full day affair Thursday. More details to fill out this sketch next week, sharing here to be as proactive as possible with what I know.
Sounds good for a week with travel and all that. Since the original plan of just reading your posts as they get published got delayed and here we are, to what extent is this problem solved?
“the hunting blog will be published” – say that again, the… what?
At any rate, time for thinking and reflecting and having a break is absolutely fine, feel free to fully stay offline some days too if it works better, not a problem there (just do give the dates/interval).

Thanks for asking. While some work remains, there has been substantial progress and the ~2 years without seeing/talking woke them up a great deal. It also strengthened my communication capacity because once you make such a decision, you’ve changed yourself at quite a deep level.
ARTICLE !!!!1111!!! the hunting article, the hunting article, the hunting article! smh, lol.
Aye. For now I’ll decide when I get there and be sure to be proactive with the communication.
