The scarcity mentality has been steadily run out of this organization -- for the better.  We are 11 strong now and are moving to an office 3 times the size of our current facility. In a month we will be 4 blocks down the road.  We are still in the mission for sure; however, we are dangerously far from Blowfish Sushi.  This could potentially put the 70% off Sushi deal at risk..

My life has definitely taken on a different rhythm.  I haven't pulled an all-nighter in months and I go to bed at 11 or so every night.  All the mad energy of our years in business I have been channeling back into my relationship.   Jessica is just about to graduate from the Stanford GSB so we have been spending most of our times together relishing our last days living in a cottage in the woods near Stanford.  It's been amazing.  In June, we'll be moving back to the city a short walk from where we work.

We were on CNN last week.  A short 2 minute segment keeps rotating during Anderson Cooper airings.  It's playing over and over today and causing quite a stir on our website.  As of 11 AM we've already done about $20K in business.  This won't be a record day, but close. 

CNN called us 'heroes'.  This is awkward, to say the least.  I've had to deal with a series of wise cracks from old friends who by chance saw the segment.  I look emotional in the piece.  I was emotional.  Those CNN interviewers really know how to get you in a sensitive mood.
