where am i...

as you might imagine, i am currently lost... i went through a bout of decompression yesterday after finally consolidating CCNP... this has been a dream of mine for a long time and now that it is here it will take some getting used to... but i'm sure i will get used to it...

the fact is there is no celebration going on here...  there is only the work, more consolidation, going back to the beginning to move forward again...

there is some relief that there is no test in the coming months... i plan to wait until the first of next year before sitting the CCIE written... and that was always the plan; yesterday has not changed that... 

pucker time is over and i am happy about the loneliness of the long distance run ahead... there is no immediate fight; there is no rush; there is only the battle with me now... and for that i am grateful...

back to squares...

but i do like having this to keep me company:
