I was invited back to 3M from Imation to change that. It took me 16 months instead of the 6 months I had hoped, but I finally got the go ahead this fall to start a new department to do it. Chris is up to her eyeballs in PTA and Girl Scouts. Every fall she swears she's not going to commit to so much this fall. By November, she's usually about ready to BE committed from everything she has to get done.
Life is beautiful indeed.
I cofounded a little over two years ago. We work in photonics, primarily with waveguides in non-linear crystals. So far its great fun, but keeping our nose above water is proving to be challenging. Outside of work, I'm enjoying the country around Bozeman, primarily climbing and skiing. Although I'm not sure, it appears I just got remarried to my ex-wife, keeping life interesting in that department.
