While the business side of me is nourished at Dreamentia, here you'll find simple, random personal thoughts stemming from our unfortunate double-encounter with the 2008 Fires in Sylmar, California. After a failed first attempt in October, the fires came back again one month later to finish the job they were clearly determined to complete. It took me a few months to finally be able to write about it, so now I hope to chronicle our rebuild as we journey down the long, winding path of a rebirth.
