Well, folks, there is a lot we don’t blog about. This (see press release below) has been one of those many, many, many things that have been off-the-blog-radar all along. In addition to everything else, for the past 3+ years, Braydon has been working his bum-bum off, round the clock, 24 x 7, to create, start, build, and launch his own business. It is an internet start-up ~~ a social networking music download service. This is a big deal for us. We’ve been investing heavily in this since January 2004. Investing our money, our brain-power, our energy, and most of all… our time… into this. We are hoping it pays off. But either way, Braydon is just incredible for getting it as far as he has. Unless you have ever started your own business from scratch (or supported your life-partner doing it), then trust me, you really can’t even imagine how intense the whole thing is. Believe me. It is a tough row to hoe (especially when you are also in the process of adopting, bringing home, and raising twin Haitian-American boys AND you have a wife with a full-blown career herself). “Tough” is the understatement of the year. Anyway, today the rVibe beta is launching. Big day for the Johnson-McCormick household. Big, big day. I’m so incredibly proud of my brilliant, determined, brilliant, persistent, and BRILLIANT husband and soul-mate. YOU GO BOYFRIEND!!!
