I quit my job today and I have to admit that the feeling I have running through me is undoubtedly one of the best I’ve ever had -- freedom, at last.
It wasn’t even noon and my day was going to get even better. No more than three hours into unemployment, and I received a text from my friend Daimon. He had been working tirelessly on a rock climbing guide to the Spanish island of Mallorca for the better part of three years. I had volunteered to edit the guide. For me, it was a long process as well, but nothing compared to the writing, checking, re-checking, drawing, captioning etc. that he had put into it. All told, I probably worked about 50 hours on the book. His text was unexpected and the contents arrived about four months sooner than we’d expected: “The book is out today!”
So, in the shameless interest of plugs and boosting sales of the book, take a look at it here:

Or, better yet, buy it here:

No doubt this is a good omen.
