I had my charts done the other day by Nico's mommy, an astrologer who's been in the business for upwards of 20 years. I found out I was a scorpio libra, a male sign, which makes perfect sense to me. She told me I was a warrior, and that if I were a cavewoman, I would be the one to kill the wild boar.

"If everyone was hungry, you'd say, 'I'm going to go get a boar.' You wouldn't be the one to clean the boar, or cook the boar, or to clean up after everyone ate the boar. Your job is to kill the boar, and that's it."

"You are a pure warrior," she said. "And you are not happy unless you are waging war."

On that note, I have to announce that I am no longer writing for ironminds. I've been fired, or discontinued, or disassociated, or excommunicated, or whatever it's called when your freelance services are no longer requested, required, or desired.

I am an undesirable.

And yet I somehow managed to have a lovely weekend anyway.

Anyway, I'm off to Seattle in a week and a half, and then will be out of commission from September 15 through November 1. I've taken on two tremendous projects which will require a great deal of my time. I'll also be traveling a bit for the larger of the two projects. I think it's fair to say I won't be writing fun little articles for the web for the next two months, with the exception of one last piece that will go up on a new site (new for me, anyway), I think, in about two weeks.

I will continue to write here, so I hope you all will continue to check back as you usually do. I wish I could write my fun articles forever, but sometimes things don't work out how we'd like. Instead, I've decided to make a huge-ass chunk of change, so that I can frolic afterwards for a few months. I'm not complaining, I'm just explaining.

We warriors are not allowed to complain.
