Bob and I are back from a wonderful week in Mexico with the girls. The weather was perfect, the beers were cold and Mae took long naps. It couldn't have been any better.

It's been a whirlwind ever since. On Tuesday I resigned from my position at an agency I have been with for over five years. I feel like I just broke up with a nearest and dearest friend. In all my years in this industry - and there have been many years - it's the best job I have had, while surrounded by the most talented creatives I have ever met. But I knew I had to part ways eventually and the longer I stayed there, the harder it would have been to leave. So I'll be taking everything I have learned over the past twenty years and applying it to new challenges and opportunities ahead. If only I could take Taxi with me.

Conan said it better.
