Do you know your personal "brand'?

[Chile Pepper]

Image seems a perfectly fine word in this context.

Chile Pepper! I was just wondering about you. How's everything going?

[Chile Pepper]

Aw, thanks, Oak. Everything is fine, but man is life hectic. We are heading into summer here, so it's the end of the school year for my two boys. My oldest is graduating 8th grade, and he has been something of a challenge this year (adolescence--what can you do?). Our school is K through 12, so no change, but I'm still hoping things even out next year. We are trying to expand our winery business, and I have had more freelance work than ever this year, so work is good. And finally, despite the hectic schedule, I am just 300 km short of reaching my 2013 riding goal of 5,000 km! Now, that's km, not miles, but it has been a real challenge for me.

How are things going for you?
