I was recently laid off from (oddly) a Three-Letter-Corporation after a 3.5 year run of things, but probably not the one you work for. For the last 20 years, I've been passionate about technology, and for more than half of that, I've been publishing technical articles (or at least rants) on my findings. It's now been a little over a week since I was let go and you'd think I'd be up to my elbows in projects and knowledge... but now, I'm having trouble mustering up the drive and passion I used to have. It's like my soul is gone.

Such things take time. Take a break and if you've got the monetary reserves go travel on your own or start learning to play guitar.

I play bass guitar and I love it. I don't have much cash on hand, but the misses and I can probably make it last to the beginning of march. Definitely not enough for me to fly off somewhere. It's also too cold in Kansas City for me to go one one of my bicycle camping adventures. I should probably get out and ride some more, though. Maybe that'll help.

If you like cycling, maybe moving someplace nicer for it would be a good idea and a good change of pace.

I ride to work (and for errands) year round despite the weather. It's not that big of a deal. Riding my bike 40 miles out of town then camping in this stuff, though, would be a tall order with the gear I have. Mostly, the camping part would suck.
