Back from ‘bucks. Took Henry and Emma, Jackie staying and playing his game. Tell them the agenda for day, and get approval. Guess Emma changed her mind post-Daddy breakfast. I’m g… | Continue reading
Dry cereal for breakfast, completely uncommon. Sounded nice. Not sure why. Henry hungry, demanding waffles, then another, and while the third one cooks insists on a graham cracker. Just as he’s… | Continue reading
and no day off for me, which I still find strange working for a prop tech/security company based in DC. ANYWHO…. Home and thinking of dinner options. Have stuff here in house, told them Daddy Doo… | Continue reading
Kids ready for the most part, meeting over. Cold down here in the office. One more cup. Getting into the Field later.. Haven’t run since my last pathetic 3.25 or whatever it… | Continue reading
My parents pick them up later. 2:45 call with SE to work up quote for the 818 Van Ness prospect. Not in the mood for this new story, not with the kids here. Not anything they’re doing, just what … | Continue reading
Jack asks for V-bucks, however spelled and written, I buy. Why not. Want him to enjoy his time here, and his life. Seeing him smile is the ALL… my little poet, my Kerouac. My litt… | Continue reading
Not sure if I have work tomorrow, Veteran’s Day. Maybe I do, but I don’t think so given the company is based in DC basically and provides security for government entities and building I think. Any… | Continue reading

Yes, of course, one Mike says then the other is more along the go of, “Just take notes, write it later, when you get home.” But I know I won’t, I’d say to this latter thought-shape. Enjoying the co… | Continue reading
More laundry on. Nearing 9:30. Three hours. Interesting having me come in at 12:30. In no mood to go down there, be around all those people, the crowd, that uncomfortable ro… | Continue reading
Jury Duty. Finally got around to doing all the receipts piled on desk. First thing I did. Don’t have to be at courthouse or that admin building in Santa Rosa till 12:30. Dreading it like you wo… | Continue reading
….. Bought two new journals at the Walgreens on Front Street I think. Two fancier ones with leather on outside. One for me, the other for Kastle. First real site visit today… | Continue reading
Not sales. At all. Loving conversations, people, being a friend and resource, not a robotic rep. Sales is also selling yourself. That your goals need to be of more altitude. And that they are emine… | Continue reading
back and forth when it comes to sales. The actual word. Why do we have to say it over and over? Fixate on it, like it’s some all-solving monosyllabic song, or incantation that takes you to some car… | Continue reading
Conversation with Stanley, my SE. Weird having someone other than Ditter or William as my SE, but…. Here I am in the new story, he giving me some counsel on certain things and prospecting app… | Continue reading
locking me out for some reason, then the laptop camera not working on a Teams call. The day is interesting and testing my patience a bit. Breathing… will have list of 50 prospects done by EOD tomo… | Continue reading
storm in comparison to any perceived storm in the past few years… Somewhat of a white knuckle nerve-racking drive but even still it was relaxing listening to the music. I thought about going straig… | Continue reading
Not only embracing the fact that I’m new to real estate, multifamily, and prop tech, but celebrating it. Using it to start conversations… seeking education and shared experience. Like m… | Continue reading
….. Been in office for about ten or fifteen minutes. Settling in. Aims are simple, getting in character. Sipping rest of latte. Conversations…. Start more. Coupl… | Continue reading
11/7 Been up since before five. Had some coffee, after getting dressed, and I’m now down here in the office about ready to head to San Francisco. Some thing about me has changed, with this new sale… | Continue reading
Back in the poz loft office. No need for dinner after the sliders. Tonight thinking bed early. Listening to the Eric Hilton list again. Been a go-to of late. Not sure … | Continue reading
Food not here yet. Nearly done with glass, will order another. Not in the mood for pinot or anything red. Thought about it, but….. Wine is my beat. That … | Continue reading
Just wanted to write out the whole date for once. Day any everything. In office, kids picked up, first latte from Café Noto in a while. Some aims for day, but no harsh self-emphasis and pointing… | Continue reading
Getting close to bedtime. All three of the kids here, FINALLY. Henry sick last weekend, and then me with covid weekend before. Or was it the weekend before…. Losing track of time … | Continue reading
Again getting a shot of that gratitude. With the coffee, working at the counter here. Love my office but needed a change of consistent visuals and actual chair. The other day work… | Continue reading
seeing a metal pipe (I don’t what you’d call it, the winemaker/-ing term for…) in barrel, filling. Racking as they say. Back from lunch with an AE at the last company. Things over there stil… | Continue reading
New day. Working at home. Going back and forth between four journals, possibly five. Work journals and then mine own on this laptop for example and then the RECORD book. Sle… | Continue reading

Stories never stop, they only show more intensity in providing for the main character. | Continue reading
Tracking the new and Now-Mike Madigan. | Continue reading
Jack much better, thank EVERYTHING. Latte almost done and wanting more caffeine but resisting. Already starting on NaNoWriMo effort. 400+ words… a sales story but completely against sales. Be… | Continue reading
Little chill time, as Emma said “Today’s our chill day, and tomorrow’s Monday Funday because it’s Halloween!” I want to be like them, more playful and just taking all scenes as they land. Dad teach… | Continue reading
Sales and what it is, what it’s perceived to be. How they say at this new company “No one wants to talk to sales people…” So I’m not doing that. I’m approaching this as a writer, blogger. That’s… | Continue reading
….. Yesterday’s Emergency care visit, shaking me but the later composed and better. Just what I thought, he has some virus, take tylenol to keep down fever and wait it out. Rest o… | Continue reading
Night talks to me. Simplify, it says. New ire, love. | Continue reading

Working in loft still, Jack relaxing on couch and feeling better. Me on Diet Coke number 2. There, just opened it and took a sip. Dinner at Mom and Dad’s tonight, Henry sta… | Continue reading
And it’s my inexperience with it, not the instruction. I’m learning, and yes there’s a learning curve but I only need to know the tech so well, as I found out as an AE at Sonic. Just slow.. ask q… | Continue reading
Training over. Emails sent, Jack home because he didn’t feel well this morning. He’s feeling better now, and I’m in a bit of a cruise control. Excited to be back in office on California Street, … | Continue reading
Quick snack, now they relax in the loft on couch while I finish a couple builds here in office. Feel like it’s been forever since I’ve seen them, and it essentially has. Nearly two weeks is a for… | Continue reading
