Need to trim this down and send it to a friend I’ve been out of touch with. Following up on yesterday’s energizing meeting, the guy turned out to be engaged and engaging and had a lot of helpful information, I need to continue the networking. This cat knows two well-known animators he’s offered to introduce me to. Let’s see if this embed works.

Idealists
have never ruled the world,
grow up!
It’s hard enough
