Twins to the Rescue

Starting up a new business is not easy.  Starting up a new business with a construction component following a total collapse of the economy is even more not easy!

Yes, I am aware that I just butchered the English language in the sentence above.

Anyhow, we have been using my young business partner’s home—mostly his kitchen—as our office for many months.  Sometimes we share our office with his small twin girls.  An actual office would be nice.  We both agree on that.  But we need to produce more income before that will happen. 

The other day I worked for several hours straight on developing a flow-chart we might use for determining the best energy-efficient “luminaires” for use in replacing old-school, magnetically operated lighting fixtures.  There are dozens choices.  Additionally, we must consider lumen outputs, starting cycles, starting temperatures, Kelvin color temperatures, ballast factors…and on until you crash into a wall.  Naturally, I developed a headache.

This is the part where working in a house with children has advantages.  Rubbing at my forehead, I plodded into the living room to clear my mind.  Here is a photograph of the scene I discovered there.

I felt better at once.
