so, let's recap...

...i've been quite quiet in recent weeks. so, what's been going on?

- company's been doing the re-org thing which has resulted in no end of transitional activity, new job, building new team, etc. etc. (and, all the while, continuing - at least through years' end - the old job).

- whole industry's going through a rather significant transition as well. value's shifted in short order from access, to devices, to digital/online services and content, but not (just) in the context of the latter standing alone. rather, while, yes, internet-based content and services are significant revenue-builders in their own right, so too do they add incremental value to devices and, yes, access. the race - across multiple dimensions - is on. and in force.

- meanwhile, kids are doin' great. kick ass soccer out of brogan (and of course the quad boys as well). cullen and luke nailed junior olympics qualifying times in swimming. ryan's taught himself guitar - and is seemingly scary talented. morgan's bringing home straight A's from university, and brennan's mere months away from heading off himself, with g'town a possible horizon. peyton couldn't be a sweeter, better, brighter teenager, and dolan, well, the boy's a handful, but in all the right ways.

- and what a season from the hoyas...

- and what a campaign going on between obama and hillary...

- and...

later.
