Life is good. After a weekend of visiting Satya and Hetesh at home, and Ben and Steven in Tuscaloosa, I'm back preparing for a brutal Accounting exam coming up on Friday.

I had to get up out of bed once I remembered I hadn't sent my Operations group my part of our group assignment due Thursday...another guy is piecing all the individual parts together to make the paper cohesive, which was my job last time, and by sending it to him hours late, I hope I haven't thrown him off too much.

I discovered tonight, on my hard drive, a recording of the first song I recorded with George (in my living room!) which he wrote, and came right at the start of my interest in recording music, writing music, and all that stuff. Its a great thing about computers, the way they archive the past in incredible detail. Certainly, I had forgotten completely about the recording, and it was great to listen to it and remember how fun it was playing together at the start of undergrad at Vandy.

What, years later, eventually became of those sessions - the Jimmy B & the Fortune 500 material - will be my blueprint in recording new artists, at whatever point in the future I am operating my label full-time. I look forward to adding film and video game projects to that as well. I can't tell you how great it would be to be financially - and, to some extent, creatively - responsible for the latest, incredible new video game to hit the market. I probably wouldn't be able to stop playing it...haha.

Matrix Revolutions comes out today, but I promised Lori I wouldn't see it until I had taken my Accounting exam. She's great at keeping me in line...seeing the end of the classic trilogy will be a great reward for hard work on Saturday, instead of having it throw off the entire timing of the week by seeing it before my exam.

She did a great job of raising her LSAT score from 156 to 160, which along with Phi Beta Kappa from Vandy, ought to be able to get her into Vandy Law in early decision. We'll hear back by December 15, and obviously there's a lot riding on the line there, as she may be headed off to Baylor Law in the spring if she gets deferred or rejected. I'm optimistic - things work out like they should.

I am really looking forward to visiting Auburn for this year's Iron Bowl! I haven't seen John, Jeremy, David, and the Airport House gang in a long time. And depending on which Auburn team shows up, maybe Auburn has give us something to celebrate.

Its getting late...I have to get up at least somewhat early to review accounting ratio interpretations. Seeing the connection between b-school work and future earnings keeps this train moving, though. Time to get some sleep - its going to be a long couple of days.
