Hi George! I was going to message you just asking if you could do me a small favour and then I realised I had an email stuck in drafts to you – I thought I had sent but obviously not. That makes me feel sad because I hate for you to have thought I’d have ignored you and your update.
I’m sad to hear about Krystyna – she seemed like a nice companion when I met her in England but I guess that’s life…we just never know what it throws at us next..
What’s news? Did you move to the Lake house? Are you still in NJ?
I often think about the Canvas4Life times – we had some great times and built a solid company but, in life’s somewhat random selection process, got a little unlucky. It could have all turned out very differently. Talking of luck and regrets, did I ever tell you my story with Ethereum (the second coin that came after Bitcoin)? Before anyone knew what they even were, back in 2015, I speculatively took a punt and bought just $2,000 worth. A year later they were worth $100,000. But I was desperate for funds for my business, so I had to sell out. Anyway, a few years later those coins were worth $100,000,000 (a hundred fucking million!)!
Anyway, back to reality. A quick update my end…
We moved out to Nicaragua last year!!
Life here is so pleasant and everything is easy. We have household staff and Henry loves it. Nice weather all year round and, did I mention(?!), life is just easy! We’re thinking of being here for at least a few years…probably not forever but we’re very happy in the moment. If you ever find yourself lost in Central America, you must give me a call. Sometimes I do think about where we might settle down for good as a family one day and NJ often comes to mind! Maybe Short Hills or the like…
Have you managed to keep the weight off? You always had a big belly! Too many Number 1’s at Wendy’s!!! Over the last few years, I put on soo much weight gradually – in January I was 290 pounds! Totally unhealthy and I didn’t feel good. A minor health scare (felt like I was having a heart attack one day – turned out I had Hypertension and they’ve put me on thinners) followed and so I went on a health kick this year and I’ve managed to shed 50 pounds – eating better and started up Tennis again. Hopefully, I’ll keep it going. Feel better already.
Hope to hear from you and hope all well,
With my best wishes,
Tim
